We've referenced a handful of our favorite things and restaurants on 30A. Here's a quick overview of our favorite places to eat when we visit 30A
Places to eat:
1) Stinky's Fish Camp
Known for their seafood, especially their oysters. Their seafood &
corn chowder is a must.
2) George's
A Nantucket vibe overlooking Alys Beach. Great food! One of
our favorite stops.
3) Chanticleer Eatery
We love everything on their menu. Especially their Reuben,
summer salad and cookies. If you go, get there early as they
have limited parking and it gets busy fast.
4) Havana Beach Bar & Grill
Known for its rooftop bar/lounge with unrestricted ocean views.
Their food is incredible.

A shabby-chic atmosphere with a seasonal southern inspired
menu. Each of their locations offers a different menu.

chocolates.

Their fried grouper sandwich is amazing

seafood

Local Experiences:
Beachside bonfires - Catch the sunset and roast s’mores. 30A Blaze is wonderful to work with. Added bonus, they’re veteran owned, We highly recommend. https://www.30ablaze.com/ Should you decide to book, then I’d recommend that you get from Amazon, “Magical Flames” as it creates vibrant rainbow flames which is a neat experience for both adults and kids alike.
Paddle Boarding - If adventure is your thing you can try paddle boarding on the dune lakes and in the oceans. You can rent them from The Boathouse in WaterColor. If you've never tried it, we highly recommend it. www.runsup.com/rentals/
Fishing - If you’re into fishing, Try Captain Phil’s Charters that departs out of Grayton Beach. You will have a blast with Captain Phil he is incredibly knowable and attentive to individuals of varying skills and age. www.captphilscharters.com
