Where To Play On 30A
Bud & Alley's Waterfront Restaurant & Bar
We recommend grabbing a table in the upper patio deck for views of the ocean! Must try: Chicken Sandwich at lunch, Tuna Dip, Gumbo. The sibling restaurants are located below and next to Bud and Alleys - Pizza Bar and Taco Bar (if you are looking for some pizza or chips and dip as a quick snack)!
The Red Bar
If you are staying an extra day or two in Florida outside of the wedding weekend, we highly recommend you explore The Red Bar in Grayton Beach for dinner. Live music every evening. They do not take reservations, so we recommend going early to put your name in, and walking next door to have a drink at Chiringo's (or staying in the restaurant to listen to the music) while you wait! Must Try: The menu is very limited but we would argue that everything tastes amazing. Tuna Dip & Panne Chicken are two fan favorites.
Black Bear Bread Co.
Black bear has two locations on 30A - Grayton beach (the OG location with more indoor seating and an additional bar room for lunch and cocktails ) + Seaside (walking distance from wedding festivities). This is a great stop for coffee and pastries to kick off your morning. The line can build quickly in the Seaside location, so take advantage if you are an early riser.
Great Southern Cafe
Breakfast/Lunch spot in the center of Seaside. 87 Central square next door (a sibling restaurant) offers happy hour daily too!
Seaside Farmers Market
Occurs every Saturday from 9am - 1pm in the Seaside Amphitheatre
Modica Market
If you are staying in Seaside or Watercolor, the closest local market for grocery shopping is Modica Market. This store may look familiar to you as it was in the film the Truman Show!
Pickle's Sandbar
This is a fun hangout spot for cocktails and bites a few steps from the beach!
Amavida Coffee Roasters
First stop, coffee! This coffee shop is in the center of town in Seaside. There are multiple locations along 30A if you are looking for a location in closer proximity to where you are staying.
Cafe Thirty-A
This is where we went for dinner the night we got engaged! It's a more formal restaurant with amazing food and drinks. $6 Martinis on Tuesdays and Thursdays! They offer early (~4:30-5pm) dinner specials too that are worth checking out!
Mimmo's 30a Ristorante Italiano
Mimmo's is a newer favorite of our serving Italian restaurant west of Seaside on 30A. The food is great, the drinks are tasty, and the portions are plentiful!
