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.

The Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County (CAA) is inviting current CAA member artists to submit up to three original works for a special themed exhibition. This exhibit will be part of the Foster Gallery Outreach Special Exhibit at Emerald Coast Theatre Company (ECTC) in Grand Boulevard Town Center.
The exhibition will be on view in the ECTC lobby from February 3 through June 5, 2026, and is designed to complement ECTC’s Season 13 productions, Forever Plaid and Mystic Pizza. The goal is to create an immersive cultural experience that celebrates nostalgia, music, and Americana storytelling.
The theme is “Retro Americana,” which is a visual celebration of classic American culture. Artists are encouraged to submit original works inspired by this theme. Submissions may explore 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 themes such as 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 and has been a platform for local and regional artists. The program has evolved into a Visual Arts Outreach Program, bringing art into public and community-centered spaces throughout Walton County.
Through this outreach model, artists gain increased visibility and opportunities to exhibit and sell their work, connecting 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 and fostering a unique, cross-disciplinary collaboration.
The exhibit location is 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 must be current members of the CAA (members do not have to be local).
The timeline is as follows: The call to artists is from December 5, 2025 – January 20, 2026. Artists will be notified on January 23, 2026. Art delivery to ECTC is scheduled for January 28 and 29, from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. The exhibit opens on February 3, 2026. An Artist Reception will be held on February 12, 2026, from 5:45 – 6:45 p.m. The exhibit ends on June 5, 2026. Mandatory Art Pick up dates are June 5 or 9, 2026, from 10:30 a.m. – 5 p.m.
The CAA looks forward to seeing unique creations and celebrating the diverse talents of the creative community, urging artists not to miss this opportunity to showcase their work and connect with fellow artists and art enthusiasts.
To apply, artists must study the criteria and submit an application online prior to 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, January 20, 2026.
