30A Recap | Restaurant Guide + Outfits

Hello loves! If you follow me on Instagram, you would know that I was just in the 30A area of Florida with my family last week. I had only been to this area one other time 4 years ago, so I was glad I was able to make this trip (and it could happen safely!). Since this is a popular place to travel to, I thought it would be helpful to break down all my favorite aspects (and outfits!) from the trip.

30A is a strip of beaches between Destin and Panama City Beach in Florida. This area consists of Watercolor, Seaside, Alys Beach, and Rosemary Beach. We rented a house in Watercolor which was great because all Watercolor houses receive access to the Watercolor beach club which has a great beachfront pool. Watercolor is also walking (or biking) distance from Seaside. As you’ll read below we went to places all along 30A but wanted to give you some context incase you aren’t familiar with the area.

where to eat

Donut Hole - the best breakfast in the area! My mom ordered the pimento cheese omelette and I wish I had done the same. Not only can you pick up donuts but you can sit down and dine as well - they have so many choices.

Pescado - not only is the food here delicious, but thew views are amazing (next time I want to get a seat on the patio!) I definitely recommend the filet and the mac and cheese.

Cafe Thirty A - my family has raved about this place for years so I was excited that I finally had the opportunity to go. This restaurant had a great selection and was absolutely delicious. I definitely recommend the crab and spinach dip as an appetizer.

George’s - I had seen so many people post about this spot on Instagram and I was so happy we got to try it. You can’t go wrong here, but the calamari fries and lobster quesadillas were to die for.

Great Southern - a Seaside classic! There are so many amazing choices at this spot; there’s something for everyone. Definitely get a mojito (they have so many different flavors) and the pimento cheese and crab martini were delish.
