Whether shopping is your idea of a vacation, or you’re just looking to pick up the perfect souvenir from your visit to 30A, here is a list of the seven best shopping destinations on 30A.
Head east to Inlet Beach to find 30Avenue — the outdoor lifestyle center that caters to locals and visitors alike, offering a mix of boutiques, shopping, outstanding dining, and professional services. Hosting a list of locally owned shops such as Margaret Ellen Bridal, BECASA, 30A Olive Oil Co., Willow + Mercer, and Not Too Shabby Boutique, 30Avenue is one of the fastest-growing shopping centers in the area.
Shoppers will love the eight colorful galleries that make up the 30A Artists at Gulf Place. Each gallery is filled with the art of local 30A artists – jewelry, pottery, photography, tie-dye art, sculptures, acrylics, painted vintage windows, high-quality recycled poly outdoor furniture, apparel, and much more! Shoppers can also stop by to The 30A Store, YOLO Board + Bike, Coastal Paradise for your everyday and vacation needs, as well as Affinity and SOHO boutiques.
This fun, funky, independent community of 30A has several areas around town to check out. The Shops of Grayton are located off Highway 283 and feature food, art, boutiques, and more. The quaint little shopping village of Uptown Grayton is just down the road on Highway 30A. Stop in for a coffee and a snack, shop men’s and women’s fashions, and home decor. Then keep heading south to visit The Zoo Gallery and Tribe Kelley in Downtown Grayton. You can pick up some of the most iconic local gear at Red Bar while you enjoy a meal or a drink at the bar.
The New Urbanist town was built with walkability in mind. Take a stroll through town and shop the flagship The Seaside Style store which is the official lifestyle brand for the town of Seaside, Florida along with Bump + Baby, and Cabana. Add the eclectic style of Art of Simple, kid-favorite Duckies Shop of Fun, the iconic Central Square Records, family-owned, independent bookstore Sundog Books, and more – you truly have something for everyone!
The Big Chill offers a vast array of options for shopping, dining, entertainment, and more. Visit the Live Well 30A shop for official gear and visit The Shops On The Lawn for candy, art, bike rentals, eyewear, clothing, and skincare products. You can’t miss Nicole Paloma’s original hand-sewn designs, Yellow Fly Trading Company, or Adaro Art.
