Visit A Local Farmer’s Market
There’s nothing that says love more than attending a local farmers market! Okay, maybe that’s not quite how the saying goes, but we support the sentiment anyway. There’s a lot to explore at the farmers markets on 30A!
If your romantic Valentine’s getaway falls on a weekend (which it will in 2025—it’s a Friday!), then you’re in luck! 30A has plenty of weekend farmers markets to explore. Swing by the Seaside Farmers Market on Saturday mornings from 9:00 AM-1:00 PM to buy a variety of products, from fresh produce to gifts from local artisans. You’ll find the freshest seafood around here at the market, perfect for cooking a homemade meal for your sweetie back at your vacation rental! Maybe you'll even find a nice bouquet of flowers to bring home, too.
Spend Some Time Outside
There are a variety of parks and trails all over 30A! One local favorite is Grayton Beach State Park, where you can participate in a wide variety of outdoor activities.
Go for a peaceful stroll with your partner on the many hiking trails here and see how many different kinds of wildlife you can spot! This state park is home to a number of animal species, from deer to turtles. It’s also a stop on the Great Florida Birding Trail, with frequent avian visitors. Keep your eye out for varieties like Snowy Plovers, Great Blue Herons, Barred Owls, and even Bald Eagles!
After a day of hiking, biking, or even paddling in the waters at the state park, you’ll be tired out! Enjoy a picnic there, or treat yourselves to a dinner date!
