Why is 30a such a fabulous place for Bachelorette Parties? 30a has become the hub for Bachelorette parties over the last 5-10 years. What makes 30a so attractive for girls get away weekends?
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION- There is nothing quite like Bahamas, Greece, Rome, Italy, Paris, Cancun, etc. but getting there is insanely expensive. Bachelorette parties want a beautiful place, but don't have the budget for something so grand. With 30a you can get everything from architecture, nightlife, gorgeous beaches, beautiful water, fabulous boats, and only have to fly or drive 100-1500 miles.
Let's talk about Architecture. One of the magnificent things about going overseas is the architecture. It's hard to find buildings like Paris, Rome, or Greece anywhere in the United States. However, the 30a area is decked with some of the most fabulous architecture in the world. Each community along 30a is uniquely different. Alys Beach has a New Urban community combining the harmonious forms of Bermudan architecture with the gracious character of courtyard living. The vision for Alys Beach embraces a commitment to architectural excellence and a deep respect for the natural environment. Rosemary Beach has the European colonial architecture of the Dutch West Indies which features European building types that are updated for warm, tropical weather. The primary characteristic is the elevated masonry base which allows porches and outdoors spaces to catch cool ocean breezes. Like the old style beach community, Tradition was the guiding force when Grayton Beach was founded in 1890. The oldest cottages in that community are the closest you’ll find to a true vernacular architecture on 30A. Seaside has it's own magic. It’s a mix of “Florida Cracker” vernacular design (inspired by Grayton and Seagrove) and Key West style. It's so magical, that the producers of the movie TRUMAN SHOW filmed the show downtown Seaside.
No matter where you go on 30a each community offers something uniquely different.
GORGEOUS BEACHES- What bachelorette party or Girls Get away weekend doesn't love Beautiful Beaches. It makes for such beautiful pictures and great memories. The Beaches on 30a are like no other place in the world. Our sand is quartz crystal, which is also known for its healing and soothing properties. It has been pulverized and washed down to this particular region over the millennia. It's white, soft, and even has a sparkle.
CRYSTAL CLEAR BLUE WATERS- There is something peaceful and relaxing about swimming in clear water. The waters of this area of the Gulf of Mexico are crystal clear blue. There are very few places in the world with water this clear. One of the reasons for this is there are no rivers that drop sediments in the gulf of Mexico in this area. You can drive 1 hour east and west of us and the water and beaches aren't as beautiful.
BOATING- Cruises, Yacht Charters, and all types of boating adventures are rated among the highest attractions for Bachelorette parties. There are very few places in the world that offers more boating options than 30a or the Destin, Florida area. The Panhandle offers Yacht Charters, Fishing Charters, Pontoon Rentals, etc. There is nothing quite like spending time with a group of friends on a fabulous yacht viewing the beautiful white beaches and crystal clear waters from out in the water. Make sure to visit www.30ayachtcharters.com They offer a variety of beautiful yacht charter options.
CRAB ISLAND- Crab Island is a nationwide attraction. 10's of 1000's of bachelorette parties, bachelor parties, corporate events, family gatherings, etc. happen at Crab Island. Crab Island is a sandbar where the clear blue water is only 2-4 feet deep. Guests can rent a pontoon boat and head out for 4-6 hours to relax, have a few drinks, and make forever memories. Make sure to check out 30a Pontoon Rental. They offer a combination of the largest, fastest, and smoothest pontoon rentals on the panhandle. www.30apontoon.com
NIGHTLIFE- Although the bar scene isn't like Chicago or New York, there is plenty nightlife. There are a handful of hubs / bars that are fabulous. AJ's is always a hit. AJ's is a 30a favorite and has been around the Destin Florida /30a area for a long time. AJ's is located in Grayton Beach. The atmosphere is definitely beachy but also has a nostalgic flair. A great place for a bachelorette party to relax, have fun, and have a few drinks.
RESTAURANTS- The 30a area is loaded with some of the best restaurants in the state. Honestly, restaurants in our area don't make it unless they have a fabulous atmosphere or amazing food. If you are in the Rosemary Beach area Pescado and Paradis are two hits. Both with fabulous food and incredible atmospheres. CUVEE 30a is another hot spot for Bachelorettes. Honestly, it's hard to single out restaurants down here because there are so many incredible spots.
CATERED VENUES- Many bachelorette parties do catered parties where they bring in a personal chef. There are also plenty of catering companies that offer everything from Pizza to Sushi.
BEACH BONFIRES- Bonfires are a hit in our area. They can be expensive, but at the same time magical. There is nothing quite like sitting out under the stars by the beach where you can relax, have some seafood or finger foods. We recommend 30a Glow, but there are tons of bonfire companies in the 30a area that can meet your specific Bachelorette needs.
SHUTTLE SERVICES- One thing to note about having a Bachelorette Party on 30a is the following. There are three different types of shuttle services in the 30a area. UBER is the first. Most people when they think transportation or shuttle service, they think UBER. The problem is, UBER is not a good option in our area. Our 30a Pontoon Rental guests continually have problems finding a reliable UBER driver. Vacation rentals will tell you the same thing. The other two options are the following. CHEAP TRANSPORTATION- There are a handful of people who go out and buy a cheap church van. The vans can be dirty and the service poor. Basically, if you find a "really good deal" there is probably a reason. The last type of shuttle service is the well established van shuttles. Check reviews.
In summary, you won't regret your Bachelorette Party experience on 30a. We continually hear from our 30a Pontoon Rental and 30a Yacht Charter guests that their experiences on 30a are the Best they've ever had. It's why we continually see many of the same clients faithfully every year.
