Best 30A Florida Shopping Spots: Seven Places for Some Retail R&R!

From laid back to upscale, 30A has some of the best shopping spots in all of Florida. Check out a few of our favorites, and be sure that you make time to visit them all during your 30A vacation! 

1. Seaside Town Center

30A Florida Shopping

Few places capture the vibe of 30A quite like Seaside. This quaint town center blends pastel charm, cobbled streets, and beachside whimsy, yielding a shopping experience that’s not to be missed! The shopping here is thoughtfully curated, with coastal boutiques and unique shops tucked into charming storefronts and retrofitted Airstreams. The Art of Simple lives up to its name with minimal, design-forward gifts and decor; Duckies Shop of Fun is a must for families (or anyone who enjoys rubber ducks the size of their head); and Seaside Style lets you wear your love for the town itself. Whether you’re looking for a beach read, a handmade candle, or the perfect sunhat, Seaside delvers!

2. Rosemary Beach Town Center

If Seaside is playful and pastel, Rosemary Beach is its elegant and refined, European cousin. Reminiscent of a Mediterranean village, Rosemary Beach’s winding paths, wrought iron balconies, and carefully curated storefronts are sure to delight shoppers seeking an upscale experience. Check out Moonpize for some coastal-inspired fine jewelry, or stop by The Hidden Lantern for an indie bookstore experience. And before you leave, check out Patchouli’s – it is practically a spa in a bottle—filled with artisan perfumes, handcrafted bath products, and candles you’ll want to bring home in bulk. Whether you’re after luxury resort wear or a quiet corner to read, Rosemary Beach offers a romantic take on 30A Florida shopping.

3. 30Avenue (Inlet Beach)

Modern, upscale, and effortlessly chic, 30Avenue is where sleek architecture meets laid-back coastal luxury. Located just off the eastern end of 30A in Inlet Beach, this open-air shopping and dining complex provides a more polished alternative to the rustic charm of many other stops along the route. Outpost and Willow + Mercer cater to those who like their beach style with a side of designer edge, while Shore Thing Cigars provides premium cigars and accessories. With wide sidewalks, fountains, and chef-driven restaurants, 30Avenue feels more like a destination than just a place to shop.

4. Shops of Grayton

Another delightfully charming place to shop, the Shops of Grayton offers something different from many of the other 30A shopping locations. Instead of row after row of retail stores, this quaint little village has only eight “colorful and tastefully appointed” shops and restaurants. Summer of Spivey offers swimwear and other saltwater staples, Saczynski Gallery offers a variety of mixed media art, and The Shard Shop gives visitors the chance to make their own glass-based art pieces. But one of our favorites is Black Bear Bar Room, which offers a full menu, extensive wine list, and a variety of local craft beers on tap. 

  • Address: 26 Logan Lane, Santa Rosa Beach, FL 32459

5. Merchants of Rosemary Beach

Another wonderful outdoor shopping plaza, Merchants of Rosemary Beach offers an array of unique shops you’ll definitely want to check out. You can visit Huck & Harlowe to pick up something trendy for your dog, stop by Gigi’s Fabulous Kids’ Fashions & Toys to grab something for your tween, and then swing by Hissyfits Boutique to see some of the most adorable gifts, clothing and shoes around. And once you’re done shopping, you can grab lunch at La Crema Tapas & Chocolate, or swing by 30A Cork and Barrel and pick up a bottle of wine. 

  • Address: 78 N Barrett Square, Unit B Rosemary Beach, FL 32461
