By taking the scenic route along 30A, whether by car, bicycle or on foot, you ’ll journey past four state parks, 27 miles of greenway trails, eleven rare coastal dune lakes, and twelve beach communities. And you ’ll behold miles of stunningly beautiful beaches. It is an exciting and eclectic mix of hot Caribbean colors and soft pastels, with architecture to match each beach community’ s aesthetic, whether it be Old Florida’ s traditional 2-3 story homes, or the cottages of Seaside with white picket fences and pedestrian pathways to New Urbanism, or its miles of greenway trails connecting state parks, preserves and residential areas.

Remarkably, all of Scenic 30-A’ s famous beaches are certified as Blue Wave Beaches, akin to the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval when it comes to cleanliness and safety. Scenic 30-A’ s shimmering sugar-fine sands combined with shades of turquoise-blue and emerald-green waters are breathtakingly beautiful, sun up or sundown. These beaches are naturally beautiful no dredging and filling have replaced the crystalline grains of sand that squeak when you walk on them. Beach nourishment, the formation of sand dunes, and other educational programs to Keep Off the Dunes are critical to protecting the Gulf Shores and Scenic 30-A’ s reputation as a tourist destination known for its world-class beaches.

Theworlds fishingVillage luckiest Destin,

FL

Destin, located in the northernmost part of Florida on the Gulf of Mexico has an abundance of beautiful beaches, crystal clear water, and verdant golf courses. There are five beachfront parks with amenities and 12 access points. Pick your pleasure from Henderson Beach to Topsail Hill. Or lavish yourself with a Gulf-front resort.

The origins of Destin's nickname as the "World's Luckiest Fishing Village" are just as interesting as the moniker itself. Originally a "little fishing community" on the Gulf of Mexico, the town of Destin was named after a fisherman named Leonard Destin. Captain Destin carried with him a sense of identity and place from his native New England. For this reason, a miniature town was built that resembled a New England colonial village. In fact, the Henderson State Park Inn, often regarded as Destin's finest resort, is only one of several structures and hotels that has managed to preserve the city's historic character and ambiance

Calm waters and shallow depths and numerous fish are because the edge of the Continental Shelf -- the gathering place for blackfin tuna, grouper, amberjack, and king mackerel -- is just 20 miles offshore Don't forget about Crab Island, what used to be an island, has been eroded by particles of sand that have accumulated in the Gulf of Mexico, leaving just a sandy spot where hundreds of vessels anchor annually.
