5 Creative Ways to Spend Valentine’s Day on 30A

On Valentine’s day, over 65 percent of the US have plans to dine out, over 180 million cards will be exchanged and if we had a dime for every rose that was sold we’d be millionaires. This Valentine’s Day let’s start a new trend, do something different and more meaningful. Here’s 5 creative ways to spend Valentine’s Day on 30A that don’t start with reservations and roses. 

30a beaches are some of the most beautiful beaches in the world and nothing says romance like a perfect sunset over the Gulf of Mexico. Plan a picnic on the powder white sand during sunset. Chans Wine World at Watercolor will set you up with gourmet cheeses, fresh baked bread and an extensive list of wines.  

Create an intimate dinner for two at your 30a vacation rental. A candle light dinner on the porch overlooking the water creates the perfect scene. Cook a special dish together. Have some fun in the kitchen creating a delicious gourmet meal for you both to enjoy. 

Have an adventure together. On the beaches of 30a the skies the limit. Spend the day at the beach paddle boarding, kayaking or snorkeling. Explore Point Washington State Forest on a hike or bike ride through the more than ten miles of trails where you can discover endangered birds and tortoise.

Participate in the other persons passion. This might mean spending the day on the gulf course or on a charter boat. It could also mean taking a Yoga class or painting an abstract. Whatever the day brings it will teach you more about each other and bring you closer together! 

Try something you both have never done before. How about rock climbing at Rock Out Rock Climbing Gym, bicycling on the bay with Emerald Coast Hydrobikes or observe our emerald green ocean from a clear blue sky with Destin Beach Helicopters! Experiencing something new together is not only exciting but can create quite the connection.

Remember that Valentine’s Day is all about spending time with the one you love. What better way to spend it than on the beautiful beaches of 30A!
