Thanksgiving on 30A
It’s hard to believe, but Thanksgiving is just around the corner! Thanksgiving is a time that we cherish with close family and friends, celebrating the harvest and blessings of the past year. We can’t think of a better place to spend Thanksgiving than on 30A. With mild temps, fewer crowds, and our beautiful white sand beaches, 30A is the perfect backdrop for your Thanksgiving vacation.
Aside from spending time with family, the Thanksgiving meal might be one of the most important parts of the celebration! While our WaterColor vacation rentals have kitchens that are fully equipped and great for cooking a Thanksgiving feast at home, some of you may prefer to skip the hassle of cooking and go out for a nice meal or have your Thanksgiving meal catered. We’re giving you the inside scoop on restaurants in 30A that are open on Thanksgiving or offering catered meals to take home and events happening on 30A during the holiday week.
