Exploring our towns and uncovering hidden gems is the best! From semi-secret beach accesses, to restaurants away from the tourist hustle and bustle, to fun and exciting playgrounds on 30A - you're always sure to have a great time. Trust me, if you know about them already - you're lucky!



My Favorite 30A Playgrounds



Playground structures that are great for kids to explore and have fun with! Whether it be climbing, swinging, or sliding, these spots have something special that open fields of grass don't offer.




Rosemary Beach Children’s Playground​​​​​​​​​​​​​​


Where: Located on the east side of Rosemary Beach between 30A and the Gulf


Play Area: Don't let its quiet little corner fool you - the 30A playground is an absolute gem! Rosemary Beach has so much to explore, but this spot often gets overlooked. It's nestled away in a tranquil setting, giving you the perfect excuse to take a leisurely stroll or bike ride from Main Street or any of the scenic routes along 30A. It's a rustic, wooden-style playground that blends in with the trees and has an old-school feel. There's plenty to climb, slide, and swing on - even a tire swing!

Alys Beach Playground


Where: Located along 30A in Alys Beach next to Raw & Juicy


Play Area: Alys Beach Playground is the chicest amongst all the other playgrounds! Its stunning minimal aesthetic, rolling green hills and white sea serpents that emerge from the grass make it simply stunning. Plus, you also get a delightful rock wall, log tunnel and musical instruments – a great way to make your little ones happy! It's the perfect spot for parents to relax and enjoy while their kids play - the playground is equipped with plenty of seating, plus there's a patio area with dining tables and lovely umbrellas. Bonus: You can get an energizing smoothie or a nutritious snack from Raw & Juicy while the children frolic!

Seaside Playground


Where: Located in the northeast corner of Seaside near the Seaside Swim & Tennis courts


Play Area: Nestled away in a cozy corner of Forest Street, this pocket park is a hidden gem! Surrounded by trees and full of playful energy, it's the perfect spot for some outdoor fun. With its swings, wooden forts and slides, this woodsy paradise is sure to delight all who visit! Taking a leisurely stroll to and from the park through Seaside is such a great idea! You'll be able to take in all of the cute homes along the way - and it's just a short walk from the main circle.
