Alys in Wonderland: Development joins Beaches of South Walton

Alys Beach becomes the 15th community to join the exclusive Beaches of South Walton. Beaches of South Walton is a premier collection of beach communities located along Northwest Florida's Gulf Coast. The area is the birthplace of New Urbanism and is also the only place in the United States to have 26 continuous miles of sugar-white sand certified "Blue Wave" by the Clean Beaches Council.

Alys Beach was selected for inclusion in this elite group because the community meets the beach community criteria by providing retail shopping, restaurants, beaches, world-class public events and short-term vacation rentals.

"Alys Beach's amenities rank among the very best in the world, and they further enhance the character and charm of this region as a whole," said Sonny Mares, executive director of the Beaches of South Walton Tourist Development Council. "In addition, their focus on environmental responsibility and sustainability perfectly aligns with the culture that has been fostered in Beaches of South Walton."

"This is an exciting milestone for our town residents and for our resort team," said Jason Comer, Alys Beach's Town Founder. "Beaches of South Walton has an outstanding reputation for providing high-quality family vacation experiences, and Alys Beach is very eager to contribute to that tradition."

Alys Beach's extraordinary architecture drew inspirations from both Bermuda and the family courtyard homes of Antigua, Guatemala.

When complete, the resort town will be home to over 600 villas and courtyard homes, as well as numerous restaurants, parks, pools and shops. All homes in Alys Beach are built to "Fortified...for safer living" building standards, as designated by the Institute for Business & Home Safety, and are also built to the Green Home Designation Standard of the Florida Green Building Coalition.
