30A is unlike anywhere else in the world!
It's got everything you'd want for a dreamy beach getaway - stunning white sand beaches, crystal clear blue waters, lush coastal forests, and even lakes! Plus, there are state parks and awesome festivals that draw people from all over. And let's not forget about that one-of-a-kind Southern charm!
The Gulf and the natural surroundings here are seriously amazing.
Life is just so much better when you're at the beach, and on 30A, you've got beaches all around you.
If you're exploring the communities along Highway 30A, there's a whopping 25,000 acres of state forests and beautiful coastal dune lakes waiting for you. These coastal dune lakes are pretty rare and only a few lucky spots around the world can boast about having them.
30A has so much to offer!
From amazing golf courses and underwater art museums to wineries and amusement parks.
We all love to indulge in eating, drinking, and shopping while on vacation. South Walton County has a ton of awesome local restaurants and bars that serve up incredible food and drinks to satisfy any craving you have.

A Spot for the Youthful
While we might not have the same fame as other popular Florida travel spots with their amusement parks, don't worry! There's still plenty of fun to be had for both kids and the young at heart. From rock wall climbing to escape rooms, laser tag to bumper boats, 30A has something for everyone.
Destin, the nearby city has loads of fun attractions to check out. You've got The Track Family Fun Park, Big Kahuna's Water and Adventure Park, Fat Daddy's Arcade, and plenty of other cool spots for entertainment.
Just a quick drive East from Inlet Beach, you'll find Panama City Beach. It's the perfect spot for kids of all ages with attractions like Shipwreck Island Waterpark and Cobra Adventure Park.
For those who can't sit still for too long on the beach, no problem!
A 30A vacation offers plenty of activities to keep you entertained and never bored.
How about playing a game of golf at one of the top-notch golf courses down South? You can also take a leisurely walk or hop on a bicycle along the 18.6-mile paved path of Timpoochee Trail. If water activities are more your thing, go for a swim, try your luck at fishing, or get adventurous with kayaking, snorkeling, diving, paddling, jet skiing, parasailing...the possibilities are endless!
Get ready to embrace your inner nature lover because 30A has so much more to offer than just amazing beaches. One of the most exciting experiences is visiting the Seacrest Wolf Preserve, where you can actually interact with real wolves! It's a unique opportunity that any outdoor enthusiast would love.
How about going snorkeling at one of the cool man-made reefs along the Gulf? There's even one that looks like a Cobia fish just off the coast of Inlet Beach. And don't forget to check out our state parks, where you can find amazing hiking trails that offer breathtaking beach views.
