30Avenue

An Oasis of sorts, 30Avenue rises like an ivory tower from the quiet pine forests along the eastern end of Scenic 30A, where it meets Highway 98. A bustling twin plaza of restaurants, shops, and professional businesses awaits you and your crea just North of Scenic Highway 30A. A curated collection of locally owned businesses surrounds a grassy, modern green space lined with palm trees. This elegant lifestyle venue is within walking distance of 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 to spend the day shopping in the sun, or an evening out to have a guaranteed good time.


All Day and into the 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 in your family. Start the day off right at Canopy Road Cafe and their homemade breakfasts, fluffy omelets, and a plethora of lunch favorites. Goatfeathers Seafood Market serves up fresh, local fish, crab, and shrimp as well as all the trimmings for your feast! Aja offers elevated Asian cuisine in a most elegant location, and on select summer nights, they host DJs for euro-dancing vibes under the stairs. Can’t choose just one? Bring a blanket and everyone can enjoy their meals picnic-style on 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 Oko where you'll find style and purpose fused in every piece or Becasa which offers thereads ideal for the dreamiest of beach vacations. Pick up a pair of running shoes at Love 2 Run, or sample olive oils and dips galore at 30A Olive Oil.

The kid(s) in your squad NEED you to take them to Atty Cats Arcade. That's all the kids aged 1-92, cause this place has all kinds of video games, lights, and music galore. When you're done with shoot-em-up games, cap off the whole experience with a sweet ending at the Great American CookieMarble Slab Creamery. Nothing says happy ending quite like freshly 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!
