Whether you’re planning family fun, a gathering with friends, or a relaxing autumn retreat, Rivard by Ocean Reef has a place to make the weekend memorable.
Halloween Fun Along Scenic 30A
Halloween on 30A brings a little coastal flair to the traditional tricks and treats. On Friday, October 30, The Big Chill in Watersound hosts its annual Halloween celebration from 5:00 to 9:30 p.m., complete with trick-or-treating, pumpkin crafts, and a family-friendly DJ dance party. It’s a festive way to kick off the weekend with the kids.
The fun continues on Saturday, October 31, when Seaside transforms into a Halloween wonderland inspired by Wonka. From 4:00 to 7:00 p.m., families can dress in costume and explore Central Square, collecting candy from participating merchants and discovering whimsical surprises along the way. Afterward, settle in at the Seaside Amphitheater for a special outdoor screening of Wonka beginning at 7:00 p.m.
Of course, the best part of a Grayton Beach Halloween might be everything surrounding the festivities. Spend your mornings strolling along the Gulf, take a bike ride beneath the coastal pines, or explore the natural beauty of Western Lake. And keep an eye out for witches on the water! In past years, costumed paddlers have traded their broomsticks for paddleboards on 30A's coastal dune lakes, creating a wonderfully whimsical Halloween spectacle. While no gathering has been announced for this year, it's just the kind of unexpected fun that makes this stretch of coastline so special. When the costumes come off, you'll have the comforts of a private vacation home waiting for you.
