Top 10 Things to Do on Hwy 30A - Santa Rosa Beach, FL

We have lived on the Emerald Coast for over 20 years, and I have enjoyed many of the amazing activities that 30A has to offer.  I often have friends visit the area, and they ask me what my favorite activities are.  Below is a list of my favorites, and I hope you find it helpful.  Of course the obvious #1 attraction is the Gulf of Mexico but below are some other fun activities that I think you will enjoy.

1. Visit the Red Bar in Grayton Beach, FL on Sunday for live music during brunch and dinner, excellent food, and a killer vibe.  https://theredbar.com/
2. Stop by Seaside, FL and do some shopping and dining, and be sure to watch the sunset at the rooftop bar at Bud and Alleys in Seaside. https://www.budandalleys.com/
3. Take an easy fishing charter off of the beach in Grayton Beach, FL. https://www.graytongirlcharters.com/.  This is great for 1st timers, expert anglers, and children.  You do not have to go too far off of shore to limit out on Snapper, Trigger Fish, King Mackerel, etc.  If you prefer fishing inshore for Trout and Reds, try Captain Sid with the Little Lucky out of Sandestin.  http://lillucky.com
4. Spend some time in Rosemary Beach and check out Paradis for an over the top fine dining experience.  http://www.restaurantparadis.com/
5. Rent some bikes and explore the 18.5 mile 30A Bike Path known as the Timpoochee Trail.  If you want to make it super easy, rent some electric bikes from Pedigo.  https://www.pedegoelectricbikes.com
6. Stop by Shunk Gulley on the West end of 30A near Gulf Place for some fresh oysters, excellent views, and one of the best fish sandwiches on 30a.  The Ed Walline Public beach access is across the street and they have good parking and restrooms. https://www.shunkgulley.com
7. Grab some Breakfast or lunch at the Cowgirl Kitchen.  They have locations in Rosemary Beach and Seagrove. https://cowgirlkitchen.com/
8. Rent some Paddle Boards and explore many of the breath taking Coastal Dune Lakes along Hwy 30A.  Check out these guys for bike, kayak and paddle board delivery.  https://www.therentalshop30a.com/
