The more I learned about Alys Beach, the more I liked it. Not least appealing was the fact that the community consists solely of green-
certified structures that are fortified to withstand hurricanes. The town, bookended by its precious beach and dunes to the south and 22 acres of preserved wetlands to the north, is committed to sustainability and is meant to be standing, alongside its untouched natural habitats, hundreds of years from now ? a testament to the vision of the town founder, Jason Comer, whose family bought these 158 acres in 1977 and collaborated with DPZ in the design of the present-day community.

PaulaBeach FanaticMichigan but someday in SoWal as well3,747 postsJoined View profileMessageBeach FanaticI get garden magazine and that was a great article. It gave me some ideas about what kinds of native plants to plant at our place even though we're nothing like Alys Beach. The photos in the article were wonderful. Alys beach has such a fine-tuned sense of style - such attention to detail.
