Kayaking
Because 30A is one of the most beautiful beach destinations along the Emerald Coast, you’ll probably be spending a lot of time in the sand. Try spicing up your day with a kayak adventure!

A favorite activity for locals and visitors during spring is golfing. Whether you are a novice or a pro, you’ll love our 30A golf courses. You can putt your way to epic fun on gorgeous greens and luscious fairways.

Spring is the ideal time to pedal your way through 30A. Did you know that the Timpochee Trail runs from Dune Allen to Inlet Beach and covers 18.5 miles? The trail runs right in front of Adagio, making it easy to access. And better yet, we offer on-site rentals via La Dolce Vita. This is a fantastic solo activity or something the entire family can enjoy.
