30Avenue

A bustling plaza of restaurants, shops, and professional businesses await you just North of Scenic Highway 30A. Two bands of locally owned businesses surround a grassy, green space lined with palm trees. This elegant lifestyle venue is within walking distance from Rosemary Beach, Alys Beach, and Seacrest Beach, and offers plenty of parking for those driving from a bit further. Consider 30Avenue your one stop shop whether you’re looking for a place to spend the day shopping in the sun, or for a place to spend an evening out to have a guaranteed good time.

From Day to Night

Ride your bikes on over to 30Avenue for a day of lunch and shopping. Notable lunch spots of all cuisines guarantee there will be a choice for everyone. Freshii serves up healthy and fresh salads, bowls, and smoothies. Barbacoa offers burritos, tacos, and nachos. Can’t choose just one? Bring a blanket and everyone can enjoy their meals picnic style in the grassy lawn centered in the plaza. The kiddos will love to play a game of cornhole, have a hula hoop contest, and run around in the grass. When you’re ready to start shopping boutiques and specialty stores unique to the area can be found lining the brick paved roads. Find the hottest trends at clothing boutiques like LA Green and Shades Coastal Apparel, pick up a pair of running shoes at Love 2 Run, or sample olive oils and dips galore at 30A Olive Oil. Need to find your zen? Stop in Outpost for a cup of coffee or a glass of wine and then try a yoga class at Otium.

Come back for dinner and have a memorable meal at award-winning Cuvee 30A. This upscale restaurant has mouthwatering seafood and steak dishes, live music on select nights, and a noteworthy wine selection. If you’re looking for a more casual option, the whole family will love Amici 30A Italian Kitchen. This Italian restaurant features homemade classic Italian dishes, hand-rolled pasta dough, and the best happy hour on 30A (did someone say $10 pizzas?). Stay tuned for the Summer 2019 opening of Amigos 30A, the soon to be Mexican sister restaurant right next door to Amici 30A!

Cap the night off with a sweet ending at the Great American Cookie, Marble Slab Creamery joint store. Nothing says happy ending quite like fresh baked cookies and a bowl of ice cream. Watch out though, this fun spot is known for handing you the bowl and tossing your ice cream to you from over the counter! If it’s a Thursday or Friday night take your frosty treat over to the green for the 30Avenue live concert series. A stage is set up on the green and tables, and chairs are put out for you to grab a drink and take in some live music under the stars.

Deemed the gateway to 30A, there is undoubtedly something for everyone to love at 30Avenue. Make sure you take some time to spend a day, a night, or both at this South Walton hot spot!
