A little village that grew, Miramar Beach was once a sleepy spot on old Highway 98.
Today this strip of coast road still reflects the community’s laid back beach personality. As it meanders past classic beach shops, seafood shacks, condos and private beachfront homes, it offers panoramic views of the Gulf of Mexico.
