H e ll o Re a d ers! Well, hi there! Welcome to the very first issue of Haute Finds South Walton! My husband, son, and I have lived in Santa Rosa Beach for seven years now, and yet daily we still find ourselves wowed by the natural beauty of this area. Of course the star of the show is the beach, and what a stunner she is. But we also have miles of forest trails, incredible access to state parks, and the endless charm of our dynamic beach communities each with their own character and unique amenities. Every season has its own signature feeling, and here in South Walton, Springtime means the return to long days spent in the sunshine, our toes back in our sugary sand, and excitement for the warm days ahead. We greet more visitors this time of year and everyone looks forward to annual events like the CAA’s Art Week, South Walton Beaches Wine & Food Festival, and many more. Our quarterly guide will show off our beautiful stretch of the Florida panhandle. In this issue, we spotlight our incredible South Walton Artist of the Year on page 2, help you find the best places to wet your whistle on page 20, recommend Rosemary Beach haute spots for date night, and feature beauty, fashion, and home trends for Spring! A big thank you to all our partners who have supported us and readers, please let these businesses know Haute Finds sent them. Be sure to follow us on Instagram, sign up for our newsletter on our website, and do let us know who are YOUR South Walton favorites! Happy Spring! Sarah Murphy Robertson Managing Editor

Formula 18 Leave In Conditioner
Sanabella Spa, Watersound This conditioner is a staple in my beach bag these days! Spray in before and after swimming to keep hair silky smooth and protect it from chlorine and salt water. Haute tip...think of your hair as a sponge, when you use this leave-in conditioner, it won’t be able to absorb any of the bad stuff. Head Scarves and Sunglasses
Beach Ready Spa, Seaside and Optikk 30A, Blue Mountain Cute sunnies and head scarves are perfect go-to accessories for sun protection with style! For the scarves, tie around your head for sun protection or around your pony tail for a cute little twist on your usual ‘do! Hot Sauna
Beach Ready Spa, Seaside I love to set aside time to sit in the sauna to open up pores and sweat out impurities. Haute hint: make sure to take a water bottle in with you!
Sanabella Spa, Watersound “You get what you pay for” - while you will see a bit of a higher price tag on these items, you should feel great know you using products that have been made full of antioxidants via organic farms. Their targeting lines will work on the exact issues you may be having with your skin.

Havana Beach Rooftop Lounge in The Pearl Hotel
63 Main Street / @pearlrb Views of the glinting emerald-hued Gulf from this rooftop gem is a magical start to a night on the town. Sip a craft cocktail, enjoy a light bite and soak in the sunset and each others’ company. Ahhh. Restaurant Paradis
Restaurant Paradis
Restaurant Paradis
82 South Barrett Square / @restaurantparadisfl As you enter Restaurant Paradis, you’ll see their intimate Lounge showcases a gorgeous white granite bartop, rich leather loveseats and cozy tables for two. Moving into the sophisticated dining room, their staff will offer a warm, friendly feel. Open nightly for dinner, Paradis’ menu is centered around our local stars: freshly farmed produce and Gulf-caught seafood. Their menu changes with the seasons too: always offering creative new dishes to try with each other. La Crema Tapas & Chocolate

La Crema Tapas & Chocolate

38 Main Street / @lacrematapas After dark, Rosemary Beach is aglow from the flickering gas-lit lanterns. Stroll across the street for a date night must: dessert at La Crema! Two of our favorites for sharing are the Chocolate Fondue with fresh fruit, pound cake, or marshmallows for dipping or their Hot Chocolate Molten Cake where dark fudgy cake meets a gooey lava center. That’s haute!
