Saint Rose: How Santa Rosa Beach Got Its Name
The Spanish began naming towns, rivers and bays, usually after Saints, as they explored and colonized Florida in the 16th Century. In the 17th Century, following Saint Rose’s death and Sainthood, the Spanish name a major bay in what is now the Walton County, Florida area “Santa Rosa Bay” and publish the name on maps of Florida.
The name was changed by the British around 1778 to Choctawhatchee Bay. Thus, the longtime Spanish name of Santa Rosa Bay became unknown to many contemporary residents and visitors to South Walton and Florida.

SoWal Fashion Heats Up the Beach
South Walton fashion has changed so much over the years. Bathing suits and flip flops may always be the most popular ensemble, but make no mistake - fashion has officially moved into SoWal and taken a front seat.
The upscale shops around town are offering lines you find in big cities, as well as shoes and jewelry to boot. No longer are we on the back burner for fashion, instead we are at the starting line with our pumps on. This SoWal List was so fun to research. We tried on clothes, swiped our plastic, and came away with some amazing threads.
