Three Incredible Designs to Try on 30A’s Beaches

Building sandcastles is one of those timeless beach activities that perfectly captures the spirit of a family getaway. For parents, it’s a chance to unwind and savor the breathtaking beauty of 30A’s beaches, while the kids stay happily engaged, shaping the sand into imaginative creations. Whether you’re already enjoying the sunshine or still planning your trip, this guide is filled with step-by-step ideas and tips to inspire your next beachside creation with the kids.

The key to a great sandcastle starts with the right sand, and 30A’s beaches have plenty to offer. With private beach access at four of our properties, guests can enjoy prime spots near the waterline, just a shuttle ride or walk from their room. For those staying elsewhere, YOLO Board & Bike—located across from The Lodge 30A—provides daily rentals, making it easy to explore the coastline and find a spot to dig in.

The Simple Tower Castle

An excellent choice for beginners, this classic sandcastle design combines simplicity with charm. It’s an ideal, fun project for families with young children.

Materials Needed: A bucket, shovel and carving tools (like a plastic knife).

Instructions:

1. Gather Materials: Keep your tools close and ready for action.
2. Pick Your Spot: Look for compact, moist sand near the waterline for a strong foundation.
3. Lay the Groundwork: Fill your bucket with damp sand, pack it tightly, and invert it to form the base.
4. Add Towers: Repeat the bucket-flipping process to create towers around the base.
5. Form Walls: Connect the towers with smooth walls, packing the sand firmly with your hands or tools.
6. Detail the Fortress: Carve bridges or, windows and doors to bring your castle to life.

The Drip Palace

For a whimsical twist, the Drip Palace lets you defy gravity and create something truly magical. The organic shapes and intricate details are as fun to make as they are to admire.

Materials Needed: Sand and water

Instructions:

1. Create the Perfect Mixture: Combine sand and water to make a slurry with a thick, mud-like consistency.
2. Build the Base: Form a sturdy base using damp sand.
3. Drip Away: Scoop up the sand slurry with your hand and let it drip over the base, creating spires and flowing shapes.
4. Layer the Magic: Continue dripping and layering, allowing the sand to set slightly between applications.
5. Add the Finishing Touches: Smooth rough edges and refine details to complete your palace. 

Pro Tip: If you stay at Camp Creek Inn or WaterColor Inn, be sure to stop by the Treat Suite—available on each floor—for a complimentary snack or a refreshing drink before heading to the beach!

The Grand Fortress

For aspiring master builders, this ambitious project features multiple towers, connecting walls, and grand archways. The result? A sandcastle fit for royalty.

Materials Needed: Multiple buckets (including bottomless buckets for variety), a shovel and carving tools

Instructions:

1. Gather Materials: Assemble your tools and prepare for a rewarding challenge.
2. Build the Foundation: Start with a large, compact mound of sand as your base.
3. Form Towers: Use buckets to shape towers, tightly packing the sand before lifting them away. For added height and drama, use bottomless buckets to create unique shapes.
4. Construct the Walls: Stack and pack damp sand to build sturdy walls connecting the towers.
5. Carve Archways: Carefully carve graceful archways into the walls using carving tools.
6. Add Royal Details: Finish your castle with windows, turrets, stairs and other decorative touches. 

Pro Tip: Did you forget your sunscreen or need extra towels? The WaterColor Store and WaterSound Store are stocked with everything you need for an uninterrupted day at the beach.  

Ready to Build? Plan Your Escape.

As winter winds down and the promise of warmer days beckons, thoughts naturally turn to sugar-white sands and the opportunity to unwind in a tropical setting. While Florida’s alluring beaches and comfortable temperatures make it a top choice for spring breakers, precious vacation time dissolves behind the wheel, shuttling between beaches, restaurants and excursions.

Located between Panama City Beach and Destin, Florida, 30A offers a refreshing spring break narrative – one where walkable, family-friendly entertainment replaces long drives between destinations. From choosing the right airport to timing your visit and discovering attractions just a quick bike ride away, these essential tips will help you navigate planning and booking an escape. 

Top Things to Do, See & Experience

One of the most compelling aspects of a 30A spring break is its blend of outdoor adventure with upscale amenities. Morning paddle board sessions on the rare coastal dune lakes (found in only a handful of places worldwide) can be followed by private lessons with a professional tennis player. Sunrise beach walks naturally lead to brunching at artisanal cafes in a European-influenced town center. 

Whether actively exploring or slowing down and enjoying your surroundings, 30A offers so much to look forward to within a small radius. Click the arrow box in the top left corner of the map below to learn more about the area’s can’t-miss activities.

Tips for Planning the Best Spring Break Vacation 

While spontaneity has its place, knowing key details about 30A helps you avoid common pitfalls and discover hidden gems many visitors miss. From typical weather patterns to regional school calendars, plan your 30A spring break with answers to the most commonly asked questions. 

What is the weather like on 30A during spring break?

Spring on 30A hits the sweet spot for both weather and crowds. During March and April, temperatures typically range from the mid-70s to low 80s – perfect for swimming in the Gulf’s crystal-clear waters or taking a breezy bike ride along the Timpoochee Trail.

What is the busiest week for spring break in Florida? 

Florida’s spring break season runs from March through mid-April, with the heaviest crowds during mid-March when most colleges align their breaks. The second and third weeks of March are particularly busy as Northeast and Midwest schools schedule their vacations. Check out last year’s national spring break school calendar or the Walton County Tourism school calendar for additional information.  

What is the best airport to fly into for a 30A vacation? 

Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport (ECP) in Panama City Beach and Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport (VPS) provide convenient access to 30A. Both airports offer direct flights from major cities and are located within an hour’s drive to the properties.

Discover Places to Stay

Nestled between sugar-white beaches and lush pines, The Lodge 30A invites guests to immerse in the natural beauty of Seagrove Beach. Inspired by its coastal surroundings, this boutique hotel blends contemporary coastal style with convenience for an effortless retreat. 

Just steps from the hotel’s front door, the Point Washington State Forest trailhead opens up a world of adventure. Spanning over 15,000 acres, this preserved natural haven is home to miles of 30A bike trails that wind through tranquil pine forests, shimmering coastal dune lakes and pristine wetlands. Guests staying at The Lodge 30A can take full advantage of the hotel’s Pedal & Explore Package, which includes complimentary YOLO bike rentals. 

Advice for an Unforgettable Ride

To help you navigate the trails like a local, we turned to YOLO Board & Bike Founder and CEO, Jeff Archer. A passionate advocate for outdoor exploration, Archer shared his insights into why biking is the ultimate way to connect with the Gulf Coast’s natural beauty.

 What makes The Lodge 30A’s location prime for experiencing 30A by bike?

Taking a bike ride down 30A to experience all the beach communities is a must, and Seagrove is the perfect starting point for biking east to to Alys Beach and Rosemary Beach or west to Seaside and Grayton Beach.

Guests of The Lodge also have access to the state forest trail, located right behind Greenway Station and can also bike along the paved Timpoochee Trail that runs the 18.5 mile length of 30A and connects the Point Washington State Forest with three additional state parks (Deer Lake State Park, Grayton Beach State Park and Topsail Hill Preserve State Park) and crosses a handful of the area’s rare coastal dune lakes – another one of our area’s must-see natural wonders.

What do you think surprises visitors most about the outdoors on 30A?

 No one realizes that the 30A bike trails offer a beautiful, peaceful alternative to the beach. You might see deer, rabbits, eagles and much more. The abundance of sea life in the Gulf is such a special experience. Seeing dolphins and sea turtles is always a highlight! Paddling in the coastal dune lakes or the Gulf of Mexico is also a favorite way to make memories here.

What can guests experience with the YOLO Pedal & Explore Package?

 We are so happy to partner with The Lodge to provide the highest level of customer service just as they do. All guests need to do is walk right over to our store, located right in front of the hotel, and we can outfit them in minutes. In addition to the two bike rentals included in the package, guests of The Lodge also receive 15% off additional bike, paddleboard and electric bike rentals.

Located in South Walton’s West Indies-inspired coastal community of Rosemary Beach®, The Pearl Hotel envelops guests in a thoughtfully curated experience inspired by the warmth and elegance of Old Town Havana. The storied destination’s Old World charm and laidback sophistication permeates the hotel’s common areas and guest rooms, and a signature scent – aptly called “Pearl Bliss” – notably helps transport guests to the Havana of yesteryears.

Created in partnership with Pish Posh Patchouli’s, a local Rosemary Beach merchant specializing in hand-crafted body and skin care,  “Pearl Bliss” draws from the richly exotic scents of spiced tonka bean, tobacco bay leaf and vetiver – all notes influenced by Old Town Havana. Notably, the rich scent is perfectly balanced, without being overly feminine or masculine (an important distinction in hotel amenities).

While The Pearl had long been providing guests with elevated bath amenities, none of them had felt inspired or aligned with the boutique hotel’s distinct guest experience.

The Pearl’s exclusive “Pearl Bliss” line by Pish Posh Patchouli’s includes a shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, body and face lotion, after-sun body serum and bar soap – all natural and plant-based, free of parabens and animal cruelty-free. The scent has become so iconic for The Pearl that even passersby who stop by the lobby to use the hotel’s public restrooms ask where they can purchase the soap and lotion.

“For The Pearl, this signature scent is another aspect of providing the world-class guest experience for which the hotel has long been known. But Pearl Bliss is also a testament to our Rosemary Beach community and the local gems in our corner of paradise. We’re delighted about this partnership and excited by how much guests have enjoyed this detail.” – Lucas Sneddon, Assistant General Manager

“Pearl Bliss” products can be purchased at The Pearl’s Spa Pearl and at Pish Posh Patchouli’s, located just footsteps away from The Pearl, within the Rosemary Beach Town Center.

Chef Louis Martorano’s passion for cuisine began long along, watching his mom and his Italian grandmother prepare delicious homemade meals.  An avid fan of the New York Yankees, he once dreamed of becoming a baseball player, but his professional journey would lead him to culinary school instead.

“Speaking to me in Italian, my grandmother taught me how to make Sicilian rice balls; even though I didn’t understand the words, food became the language that allowed us to communicate with one another. It was that powerful.”

Martorano’s career began in 1985 at the acclaimed Waldorf Astoria New York, where he would experience the unique chance to cook for a U.S. president, preparing a meal (potato soup sorrel) for Pres. Ronald Reagan, all under the gaze of Secret Service. After sharpening his skills in the Big Apple, Martorano went on to hold multiple chef positions at the Boca Raton Resort and Club in Boca Raton, Fla., experiences he says served as his training ground for five-star and five-diamond dining experiences. There, too, Chef Martorano had the distinct opportunity to cook for several U.S. presidents, including George H. Bush (French toast with banana), George W. Bush (smoked brisket) and Bill Clinton (filet and shrimp), as well as participate in nearly a dozen Food & Wine Classic events and a dinner at the iconic James Beard House.

From South Florida to San Francisco and Nashville to Washington, D.C., Chef Martorano’s hospitality experiences have awarded him with diverse insights into what makes food and beverage programs truly excellent – from the menu and the dining experience to each guest touchpoint in between. In 2009, he was on the opening team for the Hilton Orlando Convention Center hotel, which became the first property to earn Hilton’s desirable Connie Award three years in a row. Most recently, the self-proclaimed “baseball freak” served as the Executive Chef of the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park in Atlanta, Ga.

In summer 2024, Chef Martorano and his family began their newest adventure in South Walton when he accepted the role of Director of Culinary and Executive Chef for Watercolor Inn, including its award-winning Fish Out of Water restaurant.

“As a family, we love South Walton’s natural beauty, small-town feel and access to fresh seafood and local ingredients,” Martorano says. “I’m an avid outdoorsman, so it has been a nice match personally. Professionally, I’m excited to continue to keep Fish Out of Water’s offerings locally and seasonally focused.”

Under Chef Martorano’s leadership, Fish Out of Water will continue to distinguish itself by a fresh and fun approach to delectable cuisine and impeccable service but do so with a much more seasonally minded perspective that keeps the menu reinventing itself and provides guests the opportunity to savor something new.

From exquisitely seared lump blue Crab Cake and a Seafood Cioppino to a zesty Aqua Chile and Local Oysters, served raw or baked, the menu’s starters are focused on serving up a fresh taste of the Gulf. Entrées include a decadent grilled Ribeye steak – one of Chef Martorano’s favorites – and an array of locally caught fish with a variety of tasty Southern sides.

“There are some unexpected surprises for guests, too, like a very versatile and surprising Cauliflower ‘Tabbouleh’ that can be modified for a variety of tastes, and our Florida Hot Crispy Fish Sandwich, which is surely going to become a guest favorite!”

Chef Martorano is looking forward to sharing the story of our beautiful corner of the world one bite at a time and in true Watercolor style. The best – and tastiest – is surely yet to come!

Winter in Northwest Florida means trading in your snow shovel for a different kind of white backdrop: our sugar-white beaches, that is! With milder weather, fewer crowds and the festive spirit of the season, there’s even more reason to celebrate during the winter months – and plenty of ways to stay warm while you do.

Here are our top picks for warming up and cozying up to enjoy a winter wonderland in true 30A style!

A Beachside Bonfire
Guests of WaterColor Inn can reserve two hours of bonfire fun for up to 30 guests – complete with beach chairs, bottled water and all of the fixings for s’mores. The expertly set-up bonfire experience, which can be set up before or after sunset, takes place behind the WaterColor Beach Club and provides a laidback and fun way to cozy up with the beach during the cooler winter months. Outdoor game packages and food-and-beverage amenities can also be added for an additional fee.

A Hot Stone Massage
Experience a hot stone massage at Spa Pearl at The Pearl Hotel and melt your winter blues away. Within four private poolside treatment rooms, men and women enjoy facials, signature body treatments and massages that incorporate invigorating and therapeutic oceanic elements. Better yet? All spa bookings receive complimentary access to The Pearl Hotel’s heated adults-only pool – and we can’t quite picture a winter day more relaxing than that.

A Swim in the Pool
The winter months won’t keep us away from the water – the pool water, that is! And because all of our pools at WaterColor Inn and The Pearl Hotel are heated, our guests can enjoy a leisurely swim year-round. Not to mention, WaterColor Inn now has a new 2,800-square-foot zero-entry family pool, complete with whirlpool bench and hydro jets. We think there’s nothing quite as invigorating like a warm winter dip!

A Walk on the Beach
Never underestimate the simple, heart-warming pleasure of taking a stroll on the beach. Throw on your favorite hoodie (we have a preference for this super cozy WaterColor Shop sweatshirt) and head Gulf-side to take in a picturesque winter sunset or bask in the stunning display of stars that light up our coastal sky.

A Walk on the Wild Side
Explore South Walton’s varied landscapes with a brisk hike or bike ride through Point Washington State Forest. Guests of The Lodge 30A can conveniently access the trailhead from the hotel, enjoy complimentary bikes on the forest trails or along the paved Timpoochee Trail, and take advantage of discounted pricing on rentals at nearby YOLO Board & Bike.

A Seafood Feast with a View
Winter months are still perfect for enjoying freshly caught seafood just footsteps away from the Gulf. And cooler weather doesn’t mean forgoing the view either! Take it in indoors at Fish Out of Water, where every seat is the best in the house and every dish boasts the Gulf’s most delicious seasonal flavors.

A Fresh Cup of Hot Coffee
Load up on some extra fuel at Scratch Biscuit Kitchen, where you’ll find plenty of coffee flowing, thanks to the restaurant’s daily selections of its own signature blend. Consider yourself a die-hard coffee enthusiast well beyond the winter months? Join Scratch’s “Mug Club” to receive your own Scratch “Mug Club”-branded mug and $1 unlimited coffee (cheers to that!).

A Tropics-Inspired Happy Hour
Retreat to the Havana Beach Lounge, an intimate tropical hideaway nestled within The Pearl Hotel’s Havana Beach Bar & Grill, to enjoy a menu of small plates, pre-dinner cocktails or both. Bold, tropical prints and a lively Havana-inspired theme are surely to warm up your evening. 

We might be biased, but we can’t picture a more cheerful way to spend the holidays than with the backdrop of our sugar-white sand (our much nicer version of snow) and the cooler coastal weather that seems to make every sunset just that much brighter. Besides, with fewer crowds, it feels like we have every inch of the stunning Gulf Coast for ourselves.

It’s undeniable: the holidays bring a bounty of good cheer to Northwest Florida, but if you’re looking for even more reasons to book your winter today, here are a few:

Lower Rates
Lock in the best rates of the year when you stay at WaterColor Inn, The Pearl Hotel or The Lodge 30A during the winter and holiday months. Looking for the ultimate home-away-from home experience? Settle into comfort at The Lodge 30A and cash in on the extra savings when you book  an extended stay.

30A in Lights
Experience a coastal winter wonderland as you stroll, drive or bike through the beautiful holiday decorations along Scenic Highway 30A, through WaterColor and into the Rosemary Beach town square. The only downside might be the number of times you’ll be compelled to stop for a magical photo.

Festive Events
‘Tis the season to gather with loved ones and celebrate – and we know how to do just that. Each year, WaterColor Inn, The Pearl Hotel and their acclaimed restaurants, Fish Out of Water and Havana Beach Bar & Grill, get into the spirit of the season with a variety of festive holiday-themed events for the whole family, taking place in December.

Fuss-Free Family Time
Spend quality time in our coastal winter wonderland without having to worry about what to do or where to eat, thanks to an array of dining, shopping and entertainment options, including the newly opened Greenway Station. With so much to choose from – and fewer crowds to share it all with – you’ll find something everyone can enjoy.
