Miramar Beach Vacation Rentals
STAY IN Miramar Beach
ABOUT MIRAMAR BEACH
You’re going to need a longer vacation! Sure, we’ve got white sand and emerald waters – it’s why we’re here – the issue is, there’s just too much going on! Perfect, you say? Great. Then let’s just hit the highlights so you can start planning a great, little (big, actually) getaway for your entire crew.
Put that beach towel on hold, and bask in the glory of non-stop adventure. Parasail with the gulls, snorkel at Dolphin Reef, or challenge your crew to beach volleyball. And that’s just day one! With world-class golf, luxury shopping at the outlets, a marlin fishing contest, and wine festivals, Miramar Beach puts a new twist on the picture-perfect 30A vacation.
GO WEST!
West side, baby! Miramar Beach is close enough to Destin for a quick trip, but far enough to keep things chill, while still providing plenty of non-stop action. It’s a great place to launch into shopping sprees at Silver Sands Premium Outlets or catching the buzz at Grand Boulevard.
NEW NAME, NEW DIRECTION
Before Miramar Beach, there was Shoals, Florida, a name even history buffs have forgotten! When the area was officially “renamed” on May 26, 1955, it had fewer than 200 residents. The first mayor chose “Miramar,” which translates to “Look at the Sea” in Spanish. Seems pretty fitting, right?
ARE YA FEELIN’ IT?
Easygoing, exciting, gorgeous. Miramar Beach has it all. Families dig the safe, welcoming feel, while luxury lovers love the stylish beachy homes and upscale dining. During peak season, the energy kicks up, so you and your crew can enjoy peaceful beach days and lively nights.
DOLPHINS & DUNE LAKES, OH MY!
Yowza! Miramar Beach is an absolute stunner. Soft, white sands and emerald waters give you a front-row seat to… a dolphin sighting? Magical! These magnificent creatures often make an appearance just off the shore. Now go wander! Topsail Hill Preserve State Park is home to several dune lakes(!) with miles of dunes and ancient forests.

Miramar Beach
The Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County (CAA) is inviting its current member artists to submit up to three original works for an upcoming Foster Gallery Outreach Special Exhibit. This exhibit will be held at the Emerald Coast Theatre Company (ECTC) in Grand Boulevard Town Center. The special themed exhibition will be displayed in the ECTC lobby from February 3 through June 5, 2026. It is designed to complement ECTC’s Season 13 productions, Forever Plaid and Mystic Pizza.

Submissions may explore subjects such as diners and jukeboxes, classic cars, small-town life, vintage fashion, pop culture icons, and the feeling of the “good old days.” Artists can also reflect on deeper themes like memory, nostalgia versus reality, and reinterpretations of old photographs. The Foster Gallery was established by the CAA in 2016 to honor founder, artist, and educator Susan Foster. It has historically been a platform for local and regional artists. The CAA has since developed The Foster Gallery into a Visual Arts Outreach Program, aiming to bring art into public and community-centered spaces throughout Walton County.

This special exhibit at ECTC continues that mission by pairing visual art with live performance, inviting artists to participate in a unique, cross-disciplinary collaboration. The exhibit will be located at the Emerald Coast Theatre Company at 560 Grand Blvd., Ste 200 Upstairs, Miramar Beach, FL 32550. Artists are not required to work at the host location, but they must be current members of the CAA (membership is not limited to local artists). The timeline for the exhibit is as follows: The call to artists runs from December 5, 2025, through January 20, 2026. Artist notification will be sent on January 23, 2026. Art delivery to ECTC is scheduled for January 28 and 29, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The exhibit opens on February 3, 2026, with an Artist Reception on February 12, 2026, from 5:45 to 6:45 p.m. The exhibit closes on June 5, 2026.

Foster Gallery Outreach Special Exhibit: Retro Americana

Where:
Emerald Coast Theatre Company
560 Grand Boulevard, Miramar Beach, 32550
When:
Saturday, May 23, 10:00 am - 12:00 am

The Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County (CAA) is inviting current CAA member artists to submit up to three original works for consideration in an upcoming Foster Gallery Outreach Special Exhibit. This special exhibit will be hosted at the Emerald Coast Theatre Company (ECTC) in Grand Boulevard Town Center.
The special themed exhibition will be displayed in the ECTC lobby from February 3 through June 5, 2026. It is designed to complement ECTC’s Season 13 productions, “Forever Plaid” and “Mystic Pizza,” creating an immersive cultural experience that celebrates nostalgia, music, and Americana storytelling. The theme for the exhibit is “Retro Americana.” Artists are encouraged to submit original works inspired by this theme, which is a visual celebration of classic American culture. Submissions may explore diners and jukeboxes, classic cars, small-town life, vintage fashion, pop culture icons, and the feeling of the “good old days,” while also reflecting on themes such as memory, nostalgia versus reality, and reinterpretations of old photographs.
Established by the CAA in 2016, The Foster Gallery honors founder, artist, and educator Susan Foster and has served as a platform for showcasing local and regional artists. As the program has grown, the CAA has developed The Foster Gallery into a Visual Arts Outreach Program, bringing art into public and community-centered spaces throughout Walton County. This outreach model offers artists increased visibility and opportunities to exhibit and sell their work, connecting them with broader and more diverse audiences beyond a single gallery location. This special exhibit at ECTC continues that mission by pairing visual art with live performance, inviting artists to participate in a unique, cross-disciplinary collaboration.
The exhibit location is the Emerald Coast Theatre Company at 560 Grand Blvd., Ste 200 Upstairs, Miramar Beach, FL 32550. Artists are not required to work at the host location, but they must be current members of the CAA (members do not have to be local). Information on joining the CAA is available online.
The timeline for the exhibit is as follows: The call to artists is from December 5, 2025, to January 20, 2026. Artists will be notified on January 23, 2026. Art delivery to ECTC is scheduled for January 28 and 29, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The exhibit opens on February 3, 2026, with an Artist Reception on February 12, 2026, from 5:45 p.m. to 6:45 p.m. The exhibit ends on June 5, 2026. Mandatory art pickup dates are June 5 or 9, 2026, from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The CAA looks forward to seeing the unique creations and celebrating the diverse talents of the creative community, noting this as an opportunity for artists to showcase their work and connect with fellow artists and art enthusiasts. To apply, artists should study the criteria and submit an application online prior to 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, January 20, 2026.
