30A beach communities begin just after Topsail Hill Preserve State Park, when 30A branches off from Highway 98. Heading southeast toward the coast, you’ll first encounter the town of Dune Allen, where the rare and unique coastal dune lake ecosystem is unlike almost anywhere else on earth. Next, enter Santa Rosa, which boasts the 15,000-acre Point Washington State Forest Preserve, with more than 10 miles of hiking trails, as well as the popular Santa Rosa Golf and Beach Club, where you can play golf right on the beach.
Past that, you’ll come to the cozy little towns of Blue Mountain Beach and Grayton Beach, which are well known for amazing coastal dune lakes, scenic trails, and cute historic architecture. After that, head to the “new urbanism” towns of Watercolor and Seaside, where everything’s been perfectly designed with ultimate walkability in mind. If you dream of a beachside vacation where you never have to get in a car, then this is the place for you! Rent a bicycle and live out your beach dream.
The world is your oyster when you stay in 30A, in one of our 30A vacation rentals! Check out some of our favorite 30A homes below.
