My 30A Summer Picks

It’s summer time, my favorite time of the year, and here are some of my favorite things I love to see and do around 30A…

Bud & Alleys in Seaside for tuna dip and the sunset

There is no better place to end your day on 30A! I love meeting friends there to catch up, have a cocktail and celebrate the end of another perfect day by watching  the sunset and hearing the bell ring on Bud & Alleys rooftop bar.

Bonfires & Food on the beach by Grayton Beach Catering

Some of the best parties and receptions we have attended on the beach have been catered by Grayton Beach Catering. From wedding ceremonies and receptions, to small family seafood boils and bonfires, they can make your next big event or fun night on the beach a delicious one to remember.

Lunch or Dinner at The Bay  

Located directly on Choctawhatchee Bay at the southern foot of the Highway 331 bridge, this place has become a new kind of local hangout. At The Bay, guests can bask right on the sand while enjoying live music, cocktails, beach games, standup paddle boarding, and of course excellent food.

Coffee at Amavida in Rosemary Beach and Seaside 

These are both great places to sit and chat, take a nice break and enjoy a great cup of coffee.

My Favorite Shopping Center is only 20 minutes away from 30A -- Grand Boulevard in San Destin. From Tommy Bahama to Vineyard Vines, Cocos and Chicos, to Emerils, Flemings and The Wine Bar – there are fantastic places to shop and eat all just 20 minutes away down towards Destin right off Highway 98.

Catch a Movie on a hot day and chill out at the Pier Park Theatres (Panama City Beach) or  Grand Boulevard (San Destin) Theaters.

Decorating? Check out Beau Interiors - they have a wonderful shop full of all kinds of furniture and gifts that capture the coastal living lifestyle.They’re located on Scenic 30A at the 4-way stop in Grayton Beach, and they are always my "go to" place for gifts. I love their stuff and I think you will too!
