PLACES TO EAT

Chiringo’s: I ordered the guacamole for an appetizer and then the blackened shrimp tacos for my meal. So fresh and delicious!

The Pearl: This place is my favorite spot on all of 30A! I have stayed here before, and I cannot recommend it enough. If you just want to stop by before dinner, head to the rooftop for tasty appetizers and yummy drinks. I love their frozen ones!

Surfing Deer: My first time eating at Surfing Deer did not disappoint! The crab cakes were amazing! (pictured above)

Food Trucks in Seaside: If you want a lowkey breakfast or lunch spot, eat at one of the food trucks in Seaside Square. Specifically Meltdown on 30A for grilled cheeses (pictured above) and Five Daughters for donuts!

Great Southern Cafe: Everyone raves about the brunch here, so I wanted to include it! Unfortunately, we missed it, though! 🙁

Caliza: Oh my gosh. Caliza is beyond fabulous! Even if you only go for drinks, it’s a MUST. I ordered the frozen peach bellini, and it was the best cocktail I have ever had! There’s also a pool in the middle of the restaurant. Such a cool place!

Whiskey Bravo: Whiskey Bravo isn’t my favorite, but they have fried mac & cheese sticks as a starter. I go just for that! Haha

Bud & Alley’s: I haven’t been to Bud & Alley’s in a while, but I remember loving the crab cakes. Yes, I always order crab cakes at seafood restaurants if you can’t tell! Lol.

Big Bad Breakfast: SO obsessed with BBB! They have a few other locations, but it still has that local vibe! I order the french toast and bacon (pictured above) and it never disappoints!

Donut Hole Bakery & Cafe: This place literally has red velvet donuts. Need I say more?! Their breakfast is also delicious as well! Chocolate chip pancakes. Basically, you’re guaranteed to go into a sugar coma here! In the best way 🙂

The Red Bar: I couldn’t create a 30A guide without mentioning Red Bar in Grayton Beach even though it’s currently under construction! There was a fire that destroyed the entire restaurant a few months ago, but they are in the process of rebuilding! YAY!

THINGS TO DO

BEACH: I think this was an obvious choice! Lol. I love renting chairs, so I have somewhere to sit that isn’t in the sand.

The Hub: This is a new spot on 30A! It usually has fun events going on, not to mention some delicious spots to eat or grab desserts! Lots of outdoor movies and live music are on the schedule for this summer!

Seaside Square: Seaside is THE cutest place in America, so of course their town square is perfect. That’s where several of the restaurants I mentioned above are located along with cute shopping spots! 🙂

Rent Bikes: Biking along 30A is truly living your best life. We didn’t have time to rent any, but I was jealous every time I saw people on them! Haha.

Paddleboarding: I am determined to do this on my next trip to 30A! It looks like a blast!

AJ’s in Grayton Beach: If you like going out at night, AJ’s is a great choice! It’s not super crazy, but you’ll definitely have a good time! Oh, and I recommend trying their Jello shots. You can thank me later! Hahaha

Sunset bonfire on the beach: The first time I have ever done a sunset bonfire was with Live Well (located at The Hub), and they did a wonderful job from building the fire to supplying us with smores! 10/10 recommend.

Grayton Beer Company: I have honestly never been to this place, but I love their beer. So, I thought it would be worth adding to the list! 🙂

WHERE TO STAY

The Pearl: As I mentioned above, The Pearl is IT on 30A. At least to me! Staying here is pretty pricey though, especially during peak season! I really only recommend it for a girls weekend or a couple’s getaway! Kids aren’t allowed at the pool, which is so nice. Unless you have children you need to bring! Lol

The Pointe on 30A: This is a more kid-friendly option! I haven’t personally stayed here, but I’ve heard rave reviews. Big Bad Breakfast is actually connected to it, so I have scooped out the premises at least! 😉

Rent a Condo/House: If you’re traveling with a large group, I think renting a condo or house is your best option! My favorite company for this is Wyndham Vacation Rentals, but there are other great ones too.

I hope this travel guide helps you plan the perfect vacation to 30A! And if you have some extra room, feel free to invite me! Hehe

XOXO

Must Have Products For A Glamorous Summer

July 11, 2018

When I’m not working, I love spending my days at the beach during the summer! (Or the pool for a closer alternative lol) I always make sure to pack the essentials (wine is absolutely necessary, right?!), so today I am partnering with BaubleBoxx to take a look at my beach/pool must haves!

1: Pure Leaf Tea House Collection (Strawberry & Garden Mint and Spiced Chai)– I usually prefer coffee over tea, but this brand is definitely the exception! The Strawberry & Garden Mint is an organic iced tea that has a really refreshing taste which I loved! The Spiced Chai is more of a mixture of spices. I have never tried Pure Leaf before, but I am searching my local grocery store for more the next time I go! If you want to learn more about Pure Leaf, visit their website HERE for extra info 🙂

2: Cavit Rosè– I was super excited to try Cavit Rosè because it’s from the makers of America’s #1 Italian wine! (Isn’t that so funny?! haha) Needless to say, I was not disappointed. I prefer sweet wines, and this Rosè is fresh, light, and crisp! I love enjoying a glass after a long day. The quality really is amazing at its affordable price point!

3: My/Mo Mochi Ice Cream- I have THE biggest sweet tooth, so I could not wait to taste Mochi ice cream! Mochi is a melt-in-your-mouth, chewy dough! Inside the sweet rice dough exterior is premium ice cream that’s equally delicious. There are eight flavors, but my favorite one was Cookies & Cream! I’m a huge chocolate fanatic. 🙂 You can receive $1 off any My/Mo Mochi Ice Cream purchase HERE!

4: Coobie (Lace Back Scoopneck & Lace Bralette)- Lace bralettes are the best because they’re cute, so it’s okay if the straps show with your outfit! It actually adds to the look if you ask me! I have been wearing my Coobie Lace Back Scoopneck and Lace Bralette for a more comfortable everyday option. Both bras are soft and stretchy with a great fit! You can receive 30% off any order through June 2019 with code “BAB30”

5: Colleen Rothschild Beauty (Beauty Water & Sheer Renewal Cream)- I have heard amazing things about Colleen Rothschild Beauty, so I knew the products would live up to the hype! Using a makeup primer is a must for me, so I liked that the Sheer Renewal Cream doubled as it and a moisturizer. And don’t get me started on the Beauty Water. LOVE! (Perfect for hydration and plumping skin) Both will be added to my daily routine 🙂 Use code “BOXX20” for 20% off all regularly priced items!

With another beach trip coming up, I know what I’ll be packing! I’m excited to take these products along to make my vacation that much more fun. I mean, who doesn’t like a glass of rosè by the pool or an ice cream snack after a long day?! I definitely do! (Probably a little too much haha)

XOXO
