Welcome Visitors!! Welcome to our hometown and our little slice of paradise.

A few tips to make your visit more fun and a little information on our area.

Please remember to tip your servers and really anyone who goes out of their way to make sure you enjoy your time here. Many have a long commute, are covering high housing costs, increased gas and grocery prices and supporting families. Many are working hard long hours and more than one job to make ends meet.

Please sign up for a text message each day ~ for the Flag Warnings is so helpful!😊

30A is unique as far as beach access, many areas and homes on the beach actually own the beach real estate in front of their homes. What does this mean? You will need to have a wristband if in Watercolor or Seaside to enter the beach areas. If not utilizing one of the many public beach accesses, you can set up on the wet sand close to the gulf. You may be asked to move if you are set up on a private beach. Pay attention to signage and have fun!!

***** ❤️ TURTLES ❤️ ***** Our area is very popular for marine life especially turtles. If you’re going to walk on the beaches at night please do not use the white light on your phone or flashlight. Please use a red light. White lights distort the marine life and cause problems in their environment. If you see large holes on beach fill them in, mama and baby turtles can get stuck in them 😞

Yes, we have bears, deer and other wildlife in our area. Please do not leave trash accessible to bears, etc. Please use caution when driving on 30A and 98 watch for deer.

If you’re visiting the beach and plan to take your own beach chairs, umbrellas, coolers, food etc. please use the trash cans and leave the beach better than you found it. No Glass allowed on ANY Fl beaches this is a State law!!! Please use 30A Freecycle for Visitors (on Facebook)

If you’re using or renting golf carts please be respectful to those who are driving on the 30A. It’s a 2 Lane Road, golf carts are significantly slower and can cause delays for those who are trying to get to work or other daily activities. Please be respectful and pull over and let cars pass if you see them backed up behind you.

Restaurants: reservations are required or appreciated at most and the good/popular restaurants require advance reservations 3-4 weeks out in busy season. You may want to plan dinners when restaurants open 5pm-ish to avoid long waits and most restaurants close 9-10pm.

Our area is not a huge party area. Many business, shops and restaurants close 9-10pm. Those seeking more nightlife please consider Destin and Panama City.

We pride ourselves on offering a laidback, family oriented vacation destination. Parents please manage your children. There are curfews in several 30A communities and our awesome Sheriff’s Department has zero tolerance for unruly behavior.

We welcome all and to many locals this is our home. We hope visitors will be respectful of our communities. Thank you 😊😊

Hope you all have fun and enjoy your vacation to the 30A area! 😊

It’s New Years Day 2023! Thank You Heavenly Father for Your abundant grace that carried us through 2022. As we start this New Year,may we start it off with thanksgiving and praise. May we continue every day this year to offer our prayers to You. Father, we don’t know Your plans for us, but we know that You do. We pray that 2023 will be a year filled with Your blessings. And may we be a blessing to others. We pray Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.” In the Mighty Name of Jesus. Amen 🙏
