This stretch of sugar-fine white beaches and clear gulf water holds a diverse wonderland: Sea Oat-covered dunes, Live Oaks draped in moss, Pine forests, wetlands, marshes and the very rare Coastal Dune lakes.

Walking and biking trails connect state parks, wildlife preserves, and residential areas. A paved hike-bike trail spans the entire length of 30A. Riders cruise the path through several neighborhoods, beach communities and small towns. Each 30A community has its own look and feel, it’s fun to just spend the day discovering the diversity of each community’s exciting and eclectic mix of hot Caribbean colors and soft pastels, with architecture to match each community’s charm it doesn’t take long to figure out what makes 30A so special!
