North Beach Social - This gorgeous open-air beach bar/restaurant sits right on the Choctawhatchee Bay. Open for lunch and dinner, the menu features a diverse selection of food, but favorites include the Grits A Ya Ya, poke bowls, and fresh, raw oysters. After you’re done with your meal, head down to the large white sand beach with the kids and burn off some energy. North Beach Social is also dog-friendly, so you won’t have to leave your furry family member behind!
The Big Chill - The Big Chill has food and entertainment for the whole family. There are several food stalls to choose from, ranging from seafood to pizza and Mexican. You can also find several shops and boutiques, as well as an arcade to keep the family entertained. The Big Chill often hosts weekly family-friendly events, so check their calendar to stay up to date on all things The Big Chill.
Pizza by the Sea - Pizza is always a good idea, and especially on your 30A vacation! Build your own pizza or try one of Pizza by the Sea’s specialties to share with the whole family. Or, order a “Very Happy Meal” from the kids' menu with items including a kid-sized pizza or pasta. Pizza by the Sea is located in four locations - WaterColor, Seacrest, Gulf Place, and Sandestin.
Pickle’s Burgers and Shakes - For a casual lunch or dinner, head to Pickle’s in Seaside. A staple in the 30A community since 1993, this all-American burger joint is most known for its house-made pimento cheese burger, triple-decker club sandwich, and hand-cut fries. Save some room for dessert! Pickle’s locally-sourced and handspun milkshakes are some of the best you’ll find in 30A.
