Free Summer Concerts
One of the best perks of spending Memorial Day Weekend on 30A is being able to attend free outdoor concerts. The lineups are always great, and you just might find your new favorite music artist. Not to mention, great music plus summer sun? It’s a win-win!
The Memorial Day Celebration at the Village of Baytowne Wharf or the Seaside Memorial Day Concert both add fun, festive vibes to your Memorial Day Weekend. Planning to attend the Village of Baytowne Wharf Memorial Day Celebration requires a little planning; you’ll have to drive a bit west of highway 30A – but not too far! It’s held in Sandestin, and features live music, kids’ activities, and an amazing fireworks show over the lagoon. Bringing along a small cooler with cool drinks and some light bites can make the experience even more enjoyable.
However, the Seaside Memorial Day Concert is located in one of the towns on 30A, Seaside! Visit the town’s open-air amphitheater for the concert, where you can relax on the lawn while listening to live music. Plan ahead by bringing your favorite snacks and picnic blanket.
Spend Time at the Beach and Enjoy Water Activities
You can’t plan a Memorial Day getaway to 30A and not visit the beach! The soft white sands and turquoise green waters are practically hypnotizing! Give yourself time to relax by the beach – sit under an umbrella, take in the view, work on your tan, or finish your beach read. If the heat gets to be too much, wade out into the refreshing waters. If you’re searching for a bit more excitement during your beach trip, you can opt to paddleboard, kayak, or snorkel! Rent a paddleboard or kayak and get out into the coastal dune lakes or the Gulf waters. Snorkel around to see what marine life calls the beaches of 30A home. Top off a great day of being by the beach with a picnic or barbecue as the sun sets.
Go for a Scenic Bike Ride
One of the best ways to experience 30A this Memorial Day Weekend, is on two wheels. The Timpoochee Trail is a 19-mile paved bike path that stretches along the coast and connects many of 30A’s beach communities.
Rent bikes for the whole family and take the scenic route through seven coastal communities: Dune Allen, Blue Mountain, Grayton Beach, Santa Rosa Beach, WaterColor, Seaside, and Watersound. Explore nature trails and the coastal dune lakes and see which wildlife you can spot along the way. End your ride in any of the coastal communities and grab a bite to eat – which will feel like a reward after a great ride.
