Go on a Refreshing, Scenic Bike Ride
Even though 30A is a scenic destination to explore every time of year, the winter months are also an ideal time. Enjoy the great outdoors as the temperatures cool down, and you can breathe easier.
County Highway 30A‘s 18.5-mile paved bike path, the Timpoochee Trail, parallels the entire length of the road and passes through all of its famous beach communities, such as Dune Allen, Seacrest Beach, Grayton Beach, and Alys Beach.
Additionally, 30A boasts a magnificent system of 200 hiking and biking trails that take you through some of the most stunning areas, including sand dunes, marshlands, and lush state parks.
If you can’t bring your bicycle with you, don’t worry! Renting bikes along the Gulf Coast is extremely easy and convenient during your stay.
Attend Festive Holiday Celebrations
Winter is the season to celebrate with your loved ones, and 30A offers plenty of opportunities for that. Every holiday along the Gulf offers an opportunity for fun and whimsy, but winter celebrations have a little extra magic to them.
