Today I'm sharing some insider tips on visiting Florida's scenic Highway 30A
0:04
I'll tell you the best times to visit, where to eat, and some hidden gems you won't want to miss
0:09
Timing your visit can make all the difference. Avoid the crowded summer and opt for late
0:13
September through November or March through May. The rates are cheaper, the weather won't scorch
0:19
you, reservations are easier to come by, and you can actually walk and drive without the crowds
0:25
Located in between the larger cities of Destin and Panama City, Highway 30A maintains its old
0:31
Florida charm. From Santa Rosa to Rosemary Beach, Highway 30A is a paradise for food enthusiasts
0:39
and Restaurant Paradis in Rosemary Beach is one of my favorites. Their beef and blue cheese
0:44
tortellini or lobster encrusted grouper are deliciously memorable. For a newer spot
0:50
check out Ambrosia at Watersound Town Center. Opened in 2022, it's quickly become a hot spot
0:55
with a fantastic selection of prime steaks and fresh seafood. In Seaside, don't miss the Great
1:01
Southern Cafe for a hearty breakfast or brunch. Their beignets and biscuits and gravy are the
1:07
perfect start to any day. If sushi is your thing, Old Florida Fish House in Seagrove Beach offers
1:13
some amazing rolls to choose from. It's a bustling place, so be prepared for a bit of a wait as they
1:18
don't take reservations. For a casual lunch, Seagrove Village Market Cafe has been a go-to
1:24
spot since 1949. Their fried fish tacos are a can't-miss dish on 30A. For oceanfront dining
1:31
with a view, check out Bud and Ally's in Seaside. Named after a dog and a cat, this spot offers
1:37
dining with a casual vibe, particularly on their rooftop. In Alice Beach, George's is the classic
1:44
go-to spot offering diners a creative menu with options to misbehave or behave, depending on your
1:50
mood. For tapas and chocolate lovers, La Crema Tapas and Chocolate in Rosemary Beach lives up to
1:56
their name. And finally, for truly stunning ocean views, the view on 30A in Santa Rosa Beach is
2:03
unbeatable. Their Crab Cake Benedict is a personal favorite. So whether you're a foodie, a beach lover
2:10
or just in need of some relaxation, Highway 30A has something for everyone
