Don’t Skip
Basmati
Take a short jaunt down 30A toward Destin to Santa Rosa Beach for this gem tucked back in the trees. From curries to sushi to pan-seared fresh catches, rich Asian flavors infuse and perfume every dish, offering a nice change of pace from the classic fried seafood platter.

Farmers’ Markets
Year-round, local farmers set up shop in several towns to share the fruits of their labor. In particular, Rosemary Beach and Seaside boast bustling Saturday markets, with vendors offering everything from heirloom watermelons and tomatoes to homemade calzones and carrot cake jam.
Fish Out of Water
Tucked between Grayton and Seaside is the resort community of WaterColor. There you’ll find Fish Out of Water, a charming beachside restaurant serving elegant renditions of local surf and turf. The only thing better than the service is the view.
