WaterColor

The ideal family-friendly destination on 30A. WaterColor is a 500-acre resort community that combines modern-day conveniences with nature. Paddleboard on picturesque Western Lake, bike for miles on lush trails, and spend hours enjoying the iconic Camp Watercolor and WaterColor Beach Club. If you’re looking for a beach community that has plenty of activities for both children and adults, this is the place for you.

Seaside

The architecture and walkability of Seaside are one of the reasons families flock to this idyllic beach town. It is one of the more well-known communities on 30A and was even featured in The Truman Show starring Jim Carrey! Explore Airstream Row, catch a concert or movie night at Seaside Amphitheater, or grab a bite on Bud & Alley’s oceanfront patio.

Grayton Beach

If you’re looking for historic, Old Florida vibes, Grayton Beach is it. In fact, it’s the oldest town on 30A, with its history dating back to the late 1800s. It offers a more laid-back and artsy vibe than some of its neighboring towns, and is very dog-friendly! Spend your days at Grayton Beach Park and then pop into the Red Bar for an evening of drinks and live music.

WaterSound

A 1,400-acre resort community that has so much to offer, you might not even need to leave the community during your 30A vacation! You’ll find community parks, pools, green spaces, and trails to keep you busy, and the popular Hub 30A is located right next to WaterSound.
