Really great info thank you
Hi Izzy! Thanks 😊 so glad you found it helpful! I am hoping to do an update video soon, some of the towns have some changes , but it's such a cute area 😊
@@GulfCoastGirl I’ve always been interested in visiting FL, Carribean and cruises, so this is perfect, thank you so much for all the details! I’ve never been to the Emerald Coast or a cruise!
Can't wait to visit all these beaches and more we bought a house closing soon!
Congratulations!!! That is so exciting, you will have so much fun exploring everything!!
We have been coming and staying in 30A for years. We love the beaches, towns, views and restaurants.
Hi Jan! Its a special place for sure, I am sure you have loads of amazing memories along 30A!!
If we wanted to visit, which is the most quiet beach, least busy?
Amazing video!
Thank you so much 💓
Great video!
Thanks Jen!! Have a lovely day!
Looks amazing..never been
Hi Susan!! It is lovely 😍 Thanks for your comment!
Great content, again.
Thank you 😊 💓
I’m looking to move soon to the Destin/PCB/30A area and this has some awesome insight
That is awesome!! You are picking a really great area ;) you're going to find all the local gems!! Good luck with your move!
I really appreciate you showing us this area . Im a seasonal worker and was thinking of going to the Panhandle i need to find a summer job now. Thanx again
Nice!! Good luck with your move, its quite a lovely area!
Thank you for the trip along route 30a. We have a house in the area but never stayed there there long enough to visit all those nice places you talked about. BTW, you forgot to mention Gulfview Heights beach access in Santa Rosa Beach which is our favorite but only with few parking spots and Dune Allen on the very western end.
Thanks Sailrider44! 😊 I appreciate the tip on the extra beach access spots, I'll have to check them out. It's a great area you are lucky to live nearby! 😊 have a great day!
We visited Rosemary Beach while staying in Panama City Beach about 15 years ago. I couldn’t believe how much more elegant it was. Coming from the Midwest people here don’t think of the Florida panhandle as a destination which it certainly is. I love your videos. They move at exactly the right speed for me.
Thanks so much! I agree this area isn't really considered a vacation destination by lots of people and it really can be a delight!! I appreciate your comment and kind words! Have a great day 😊
The panhandle is I think the prettiest part of Fla After living in south Gla for 25 years we moved to the mountains of North Georgia I want to return to fla but only panhandle or west coast of fla
cool love just did a wk in 39A
Oh thats awesome I love it there!
We’re going to sea grove beach in 2 weeks hope the weather will be good.
Sea Grove is lovely!!!! I am sure you will have an amazing time! Usually rain here and there not all day unless tropical storm so you should be good to go!! Have a great trip!!!
I miss the beach and this area. Used to live there in Panama City Beach. Now back in Helsinki Finland
Wow, Helsinki! That really neat! I love this area too! Thanks for stopping by!
A very good, informative video. So pretty too. It is hard to decide which 30A beaches to visit in 1 or 2 days. 🤗 You did great by telling us which beaches are public access, and which are private access. 🕊️ I live in north FL, and soon visit a few 30A areas for a weekend.
I live checking out 30A have a great time, lots to see and always not enough time
You have a great relaxing voice. You should do books on CD's
Thanks for the kind words!! 😊 I appreciate it!
Henderson State Park Beach in Destin is a must see. Nowhere near as crowded as the beaches seen on your video.
Yes absolutely, that is an amazing place to visit, just so lovely
I never watched a video about where I live until now 🏖 beach life
Its such a lovely place!!!
It’s like Europe in the south it is just a great well kept secret for those of us that have experienced it. I can’t stop booking vacations down there.
A secret not for long! Sounds lovely south Europe!
Hello Gulf Coast girl My diamond friend Damon have a blessed day many blessings hugs and kisses for you and Bryan I appreciate you always please be safe and blessed and wonderful.
Thank you Damon!
What time of year was this filmed? The weather is so beautiful
This was spring. The weather is lovely most of the year though!
We're going to down soon as well for the first time. Do you know if it's worth it to rent a golf cart to get around or do some towns not allow them?
I am have seen them in town, like seaside and watercolor but you might need to check if they are allowed between towns. I think its a great idea though!! Have a great unforgettable trip and make lots of memories!!
Hey now
Pensacola, Navarre, Fort Walton/Okaloosa Island are pretty awesome places too
Yes they are absolutely great too!! This Northern Florida Gulf Coast is amazing!
@@GulfCoastGirl
They are less crowded and less expensive for folks to come down for a visit
Tired of FWB not getting the credit it deserves
I absolutely agree, I plan on doing a video on FWB area hopefully soon 👍
@@GulfCoastGirl
My condo is located at the most amazing place- message me!
My home !
You are very lucky to live there, it is awesome!!
How far and how much time would it take to get from the hub to the dunes public beach by golf cart? Is it walking distance?
Its not too far by golf cart walk would probably a bit much especially if hot. Looks like 44 min walk, like 15 min golf cart, I liked that beach too 😃
Any recommendation to visit beach with 4 children ? Would like to stay at a modest beachfront hotel, if possible.
Hi Perucho! There are mostly rentals along 30A but maybe check out Panama City Beach which is right off of 30A, Ive stayed there but cannot rememner the name so just read the reviews, because there are so many hotels and resorts you should be able to find something reasonable. I actually love SanDestin Golf and Beach Resort too near Destin it has everything including pools and beach access, shops, restaurants and lovely grounds but busy season can be higher priced and harder to find a place to rent, some have minimum stays, but it's probably where I would stay over in that area, off season is much more reasonable and the weather is lovely! Hope you have a great trip!
So you know, 30Avenue is in Inlet Beach, not Rosemary Beach. Inlet Beach stretches behind Rosemary Beach. Inlet Beach, being the inlet, has the Gulf on one side with the inlet opening to Lake Powell on the other side of it.
Ah thank you!! 😊
What hotels did you stay at? Any recommendations? Is it all open in February?
Hi Vicki! Thanks 😊 this area is only about 1.5 hrs away, so I don't stay overnight unless I'm visiting someone at Sandestin Resort nearby. I wish I could help answer that one for you. Most seasonal things are just starting to open up. Lots stay open all year in that area, and more so Panama City Beach and Destin are both very close to all of 30A. I love February. it's one of my favorite times of year. It mostly feels warm but not hot. Have a great visit!!
Before the end of the 1970's, Destin was amazing - just beautiful! We used to spend summers there. Now, it's a city with a beach. Have zero desire to return.
It's busy for sure! I can only imagine what it was before all the hotels, condos, and rental houses were there
@@GulfCoastGirl When we first went to Destin, there was 1 motel, The Hospitality Inn ,and 1 grocery store,Jitney Jungle.
Wow things have drastically changed. I usually do not go if it's not off season
Which beaches are the most quiet now and less busy? Best months to go??
Haven't been in years.
Sept and October were months I liked because there were no crowds. If I wanted to suntan, there was a nice breeze coming off of the Gulf.
Once you go to 30A you won't go anywhere else. I hate PC and I hate Destin. SRB (Santa Rosa Beach) is AWESOME !!!!! No 30 floor condos, no chain restaurants, no party places and nothing but Great Local Restaurants. If you like laid back, taking it easy and just hanging at the beach then 30A is the place for you. One of the be things about 30A is that it has a variety of little communities that can fit anyone. There are communities that I don't particularly care for, because that's just not my kind of place to hang. However I can guarantee that you can find one that fits you. The one common thing about 30A is that no matter where you choose to stay, all of us can share in the awesome beach with sugar white sandy beaches.
What time of year did you go?
This was April, one of the two favorite times of the year to visit... October is my other favorite 😍
@@GulfCoastGirl I hope late August is good....I heard it might be hurricane season or rainy at that time of year.....
It's always a risk for sure, usually if not hurricane or tropical storm it might rain in the afternoon 😀
30A used to be a hidden Gem. It’s soo touristy now to the point where it takes an hr to drive from one end of the beach to the other. 😢
So so true!! It is much busier than it used to be, I like to go during off season so its a little easier, but totally agree!
@@GulfCoastGirl when is off season? when is spring break?
March is spring break for the most part , then summer is so busy June to August. I like going over there October-Novemeber or April-May because not too busy and weather is still lovely.
@@GulfCoastGirl true I went down this past October and it was still busy. I thought for sure it would have slowed down by then. But all in all it wasn’t as bad during the peak seasons.
I think it's becoming more well-known too
You mentioned Santa Rosa beach at the beginning and never showed it....
Hi Jeff! This whole area is Santa Rosa Beach, the beaches along 30A call their own beaches something different, and the lines are blurry when you view that all on the map, but they are all great!
Great video, but 30A is a STATE route, not a county road. It's important to know at whom to be mad when a bridge is closed for repair!
Good point!!
@@GulfCoastGirl Thank you! I detoured along 30A on my way to Orlando back in November in order to explore the section between Alys Beach and Rosemary Beach and find a worthy restaurant at which to enjoy a leisurely lunch but was forced to detour (due to the bridge repairs at Little Redfish Lake) before I even got as far as Seaside. Since I live about 690 miles from Walton County by road, I was a "bit" perturbed with the Florida DOT. I'm still fond of Walton County, though. 🙂
Seaside was public up until recently; they got greedy. I avoid 30A now as public beaches have same sand and water and I can take own tent/umbrella. These places got greedy!!
What a shame it was a really pretty spot.
@@GulfCoastGirl Yes, beautiful...how were you able to get on all the beaches for your video? I was just disappointed in how greedy the area has become. I'll drive 5-6 hours more and still get nice beach and water without that hassle.
I was able to take some video from the gates or asked if I could go get a picture that I wasn't planning on swimming. There are some public beach accesses. Definitely lots of beaches with this water even towards Destin. Fort Walton. Navarre, and Pensacola Beach. It is sad they changed that though on 30A
@@GulfCoastGirl still some small slices public on 30A (south walton has about 100 feet of access and security to make sure no one steps over the line (I find it funny but not worth the trip); Santa Clara still public but I envision it's similar to South Walton (just East of Seaside). seaside now charges $15 just to park in their village now which is crazy. No golf carts allowed in Rosemary and Alys (we discovered this as we drove ours through there!!). You ever review any of the camp grounds in area? Camp Gulf in Miramar Beach for example? Camp Helen State Park?
