Curator’s statement
30A is my home away from home and the ultimate paradise! My parents have a place here, so I spent a lot of time in this area during Covid and love to visit as much as possible! I have planned several girls trips, birthdays and bachelorette parties for the 30A area. This area is the perfect combination of relaxation and a wild time!

Day 1: Welcome & beachside dining
Afternoon
Arrive and check into your hotel or villa - The Watercolor Inn and The Pearl in Rosemary Beach are both great hotels to stay at in the area and close to many activities. Staying at a hotel can help with concierge services like setting up a bonfire on the beach one night or getting a boat tour to Crab Island. It is also common to rent a vacation home for the weekend in the area and there are various options! Get with me to book!
Evening
Welcome drink at Fish Out of Water Canteen - The outdoor patio is the perfect place to share a glass of roses with your best friends to kick off the trip and enjoy the sunset.
This would be a great night to do a welcome bonfire/picnic on the beach instead of a welcome drink. There are many companies that provide this as a service along 30A - Get in me to book!
Dinner at Old Florida Fish House - Enjoy a traditional Old Florida fresh seafood dinner or sushi at this family-owned restaurant on 30A. They have live music starting at 5pm nightly and dueling pianos from 7-10pm Wednesday through Sunday.
Day 2: Beach day & seaside exploration
Morning
Brunch at Crackings - Crackings provides a hearty breakfast to get your day started. They have live music starting at 9:30am on Fridays. You cannot leave without trying their cinnamon rolls! It is to die for!
Afternoon
Spend your day at the beach enjoying the sun, clear blue waters and soft white sand!
Evening
Head to Seaside to walk around and do some shopping; the town has cute boutique shops that are worth a visit. These shops are also great for grabbing some souvenirs.
Pre-dinner drink at Bud & Alley’s - The rooftop bar and skydeck overlooking what has to be the most beautiful stretches of beach in the world is the perfect place to watch the sunset!
Dinner at Surfing Deer - Surfing deer is a 30A favorite of all who visit. This is an upscale restaurant that specializes in American fare and seafood.
Finish off the night at AJ’s to enjoy some live music and dance the night away! There might be a line to get in, but the wait is well worth it!
Day 3: Boat adventure & evening entertainment
Morning
Coffee & Breakfast at Black Bear Bread Co. - With multiple locations along 30A, Black Bear Bread Co. has the best coffee to get your day started. You can go to the Grayton or Seaside location, depending on which one is closer to your accommodations. They also offer freshly baked pastries and breakfast items.
Afternoon
Boat Day! – Charter a boat ride to Crab Island! You will need transportation to get to the marina in Destin. There are many companies that provide these services along 30A - Get with me to book! This experience is sure to create memories to last a lifetime for you and all your best friends!
Evening
If you are wanting something classy after the day on the boat. Dinner at Mimmo’s Restaurante Italiano. New to the area, Mimmo’s offers a stylish atmosphere with great Italian food and cocktails. The perfect place to get some carbs in after a long boat day!
If you are wanting something more laid-back, head to local hangout spot Chiringo, a casual beachside bar and eatery.
You can head to Red Bar for some live music afterwards or go back to AJ’s to dance the night away!
Day 4: Farewell brunch & departure
Morning/Afternoon
Check out your accommodations.
Farewell brunch at Fish Out of Water Canteen - The outdoor patio is the perfect place to have brunch and say your goodbyes to the beautiful scenery on 30A. You can’t beat these breakfast views! “It’s not goodbye, it’s see you later!” You will want to come back to 30A time and time again after visiting!
