We recently had the opportunity to stay in the 30A area of Florida and found some fun hidden gems you definitely should consider if you’re ever planning a trip there!
📍Where we stayed
30A Shady Palms thanks to a lucky win with the 30abeachgirls! ⬇️
Where we ate:
Chanticleer Eatery
📍 (55 Clayton Lane Santa Rosa Beach, FL)
Delicious food made from scratch and the perfect place/atmosphere to bring the whole family. Indoor/Outdoor seating available.
Start with an order of calamari or skip right to a Caribbean Fish Sandwich, either way your taste buds will thank you!
Grace Pizza & Shakes 30A
📍38 Clayton ln, Santa Rosa Beach FL
Started with some delicious Wagyu beef meatballs in spicy marinara and garlic knots. Loved the Newt’s Margherita Brick deck Pizza. Shake suggestion- 30A Cake Explosion shake will not disappoint.(it even came out with a sparkler candle on top)
A new favorite for Gourmet Pizza & Over-The-Top Shakes in 30A!
The Big Chill 30A
📍Located on beautiful Highway 30a on the Florida panhandle!
Sit back, eat and relax at The Big Chill 30a show up to watch a game on the Jumbotron or dance night for the kids. Whether you’re craving fish, burgers, pizza or something sweet @thebigchill_30a has a little bit of everything to choose from.

A once in a lifetime experience at, nighttime Glow-In-The-Dark kayaking in crystal clear kayaks with beautiful bright LED lights. GlowPaddle is located at Watercolor Boathouse in 30A, perfect for all ages looking to discover the hidden treasures of the ocean.
