My family has been visiting 30A for over 30 years. The growth of this area is unbelievable. Much nicer before the all the building, but we keep going back because we love it.
My wife and I are vacationing in our RV in Navarre this week. Absolutely love this Gulf Coast from Gulf Shores AL to Panama City Beach FL it's just amazing. 30A is definitely a highlight!!
We stay at Grayton and we love it. You can walk to the beach if you choose, or you can take your car/truck down, park and walk over the dunes on the boardwalk to the private beach. There is a shower house to use with bathrooms as well and it’s very very nice. We walked to town, and shopped at the local coffee shop, Grayton Grounds, and the corner grocery. It’s a nice walk or there are bicycles you can use. The tiny town of Grayton is 4 blocks wide and the people are wonderful.
Love your vids! I'm early retired (disabled) Law Enforcement. Don't know if I will ever get to go RVing myself so I RV vicariously through you each week.! Thanks again and safe travels!
Grayton Beach State Park also has cabins to rent...so don’t give up...just drive your 4 wheel RV(car) down and stay in a cabin! You still get the private beach.
I’m allowing all commercials to play out to support your channel along with allowing your video to fully play out and subscribing. I know by doing all three things it supports you financially and I love that.
My hometown Freeport just across the bridge . I grew up there and enjoyed it my whole life , spent countless days at Grayton beach and western lake playing and fishing . It was the best life I could have ever dreamed of .
Great video! All of this is right down the road from my home, Panama City so played in this area a bit when I was growing up. From Pensacola to Appalachicola really has the world's most beautiful beaches. Everyone come visit as soon as ya can!😉🙂 Thanks for sharing. Be safe, Be blessed 😉🙂💙🇺🇸❤
We have visited the 30A area the last two times that we rented a condo in Destin. Yes the beaches are all so beautiful. We just purchased are first RV and our next trip will be to take our RV and stay at one of the state parks. Your video has really done a good job of showing us all the possibles waiting for us. Can’t wait! Thanks!
LOVE 30a! Headed to Topsail Hill for two weeks in September and we’re literally counting the days. Thanks for the visual reminder of what we have to look forward to!
We went on 30a today. RoseMary SeaBreeze Alys beach towns beautiful area zero none nada all private beach no NO public access.. they were glad to take our money but don't go on our beaches millions of bicyclers no where to park even small 25foot rv more like drive by view thanks for all your videos ..Camping our way across the USA .. Happy St.Pattys Day..and Happy Birthday Rick..Moab forever greetings from NC
Great to see you guys BACK and in rare form, with something UNIQUE and interesting. I might head down that way sometime ... I never HEARD of 30A! I guess we could EXPECT to drop a chunk of change if we eat out at those places? Seriously, you guys are amazing! Keep bringing us the EVERY man stuff! Love y'all!
I go to Topsail Hill in January for the Airstream rally. I reserve 11 months in advance to the minute to get a spot! And I feel lucky. I'm reminded of Casey Stengel's famous quote, "Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded!"
My parents use to live in Destin Florida. So we spent lots of summers there., As we got older my husband and i,would always go to cape San blas. We always stayed at st Joseph peninsula state park. I'm afraid the hurricane last year really destroyed cape San blas. Thanks for sharing this beautiful place
I will take a lake michigan beach any day. I don’t have to worry about rust on my truck or fifth wheel. And don’t have to worry about getting flesh eating bacteria from the gulf. We spent the last winter on galveston island this year and all the nurses we met at UTMB (university of texas medical branch) warned us to stay out of the gulf waters because of all the bacterial infections.
I know those things do happen, but it's pretty rare. I've vacationed in this area my entire life, as have most of my friends and family. I don't know anyone who has ever gotten an infection from the water. Take that for what you will.
Hey guys great vid. The issue for me is getting space at either of the state parks along 30A. At some point we will do Grayton or Topsail. In the meantime we go to Navarre, nestled between Ft. Walton and Pensacola. The Gulf Islands National Seashore between Navarre Beach and Pensacola Beach is 7+ miles of unspoiled protected wildlife preserve and the beaches are AMAZING, every bit as good as 30A but even less crowded. There are 3 really nice RV parks right on 98 on Santa Rosa Sound. You should check them out.
You guys have always produced beautiful and videos of your trips. This is another one of your best. I'm a 65 year old widower from the Texas Gulf Coast but I am going to explore the 30A corridor. Beautiful!! Thanks again for revealing another one of your favorite destinations to us.
Russ and I purchased our first travel trailer a little over a week ago. 2020Rockwood 2608. We are new to ALL OF THIS! From towing to black tank. We watch your videos every day and you and your viewers have been a tremendous help! All the “ Newbie “ videos are priceless to us! We hope to run into you sometime along our new adventure. 😊
Thanks for explaining the 30A sticker. Have lived in Pensacola FL since 1980 and worked on many vehicles with this sticker and never knew what it meant.
We finely made it to 30A last week. How did I not know about this great place. We stayed at Grayton Beach State Park. Had a great time every where we went. One of our favorites was the brewery in Grayton. The beer and food were fantastic.
The state park, bike paths, and seafood look awesome! Thanks for giving away this "secret", although it looks like about a million other people were down there with you!
We have long been a fan of 30A, it really was once a very quaint area and away from the hustle and bustle of bigger beach towns. Although it is getting a lot busier with lots of construction it is still one of our favorite areas and the beaches are wonderful. Am torn about thanking you for your video which was great but then again, you have let the cat out of the bag, Well not really that cat have been out along time. Always enjoy your videos, like seeing friends again and catching up on their travels.
I highly highly recommend renting a pontoon boat and going to the nature preserve that is part of Tyndall Air Force base shell island. It is amazingly beautiful beaches and the times I have been there in the summer August has been basically deserted.
Stayed just east of that area in Eastpoint one Christmas after traveling to St Louis and down the Mississippi to Mephis and then New Orleans, it was nice to have the more laid back pace of the western panhandle. You're absolutely right, there are a ton of good seafood restaurants in the area that utilize the fresh Gulf catch to great effect.
This video is amazingly timed! We are heading down to Topsail in 2 weeks for my 40th birthday. It looks amazing and I can’t wait. We will definitely head to Louis Louis for dinner.
Beautiful! I have lived in Florida all my life and I have never been to that part of the State. Definitely on my "must-do" list. Thank you for another great video.
We love 30A and Tophill Preserve State Park! I would add that you can rent bikes pretty cheap (and bike trailers for all your beach stuff) from the Campground office there. They are pretty beat up bikes, but fine for getting back and forth from the beach. The trailer was also handy for going to and from the laundromat in the campground.
You guys are phenomenal!!! I’ve become a real fan of yours. Thanks for sharing your secret places. I totally enjoyed this video. I’ll be watching and hope to visit in the near future. Happy and safe travels!!!!
Great video! I love topsail state park. It also has an inground pool. Love the Florida panhandle. Being from Louisiana we always go to Florida panhandle for the summer vacation.
You guys are the reason that the first place we went with our Airstream was Camp Gulf...so thank you for that! We can not wait to try these other parks.
Top Sail Hill State Park was a commercial RV park before the state received the park in a will from the owner. There are full hookups at almost all the sites. The beach is outstanding. I was there in February this year. Another great which I consider the best state park for a beach in Florida is Dr. Julian G. Bruce St. George Island SP. It is located south of Apalatchacola, FL.
I stopped telling people about 30A over a decade ago, it got to where so many of our friends would go we could hardly book our favorite single story condo😫 It is so beautiful there we almost retired there but settled on a lake resort area. We need to do a Florida run again soon.
Great review! I especially appreciate that you included "what time of year to visit" since that can be a bit of a mystery to us northerners who just assume that anywhere south in January will be awesome. LOL!
From the title, I thought, we were in for a short course in electricity (30 Amp service); so pleased I stayed for the course! Looks like a very pretty area; loved the sunsets! Why are desert and ocean sunsets the best? Y'all Be Safe! Oh, by the way, loved the pics of the lovely wild canine!
first time I went to topsail hill it was free, a long walk to the beach but well worth it, it was a midweek afternoon and the only people on the beach were two local young ladies tanning. then along came a hippie riding in the hard sand on a bicycle, he had the bike loaded, was struggling with it and said he was going to get to Destin before dark. I was only there to take pictures. I hope he made it.
Thanks for the video! I live here and have for 40 years. It is awesome there but I have better “secret places” I love more then 30A in SRB. There is another part of 30A that is west of there and a whole lot better. Thanks for the advertising lol. I have a farm just north of there you can stay next time y’all come through....15 acres and two stocked ponds..js
My family has been visiting 30A for over 30 years. The growth of this area is unbelievable. Much nicer before the all the building, but we keep going back because we love it.
I grew up near there, way before Seaside and other planned communities existed. We always knew we had the "World's Most Beautiful Beaches" 👍
How is it to be raised there?
you guys look so happy and healthy
My wife and I are vacationing in our RV in Navarre this week. Absolutely love this Gulf Coast from Gulf Shores AL to Panama City Beach FL it's just amazing. 30A is definitely a highlight!!
30A is beautiful, I’m blessed to have it in my backyard.
Just got back from there...very family oriented and nice. Great food options...Our family likes Bud & Ally's too... Great view!
Thanks so much guys, we are on our way......

My hometown Freeport just across the bridge . I grew up there and enjoyed it my whole life , spent countless days at Grayton beach and western lake playing and fishing . It was the best life I could have ever dreamed of .
30-A is our fav beach destination as well! Love, love, love TopSail Hill!

Both state parks looked great. Thanks for showing them.
We took two of our granddaughters there last September. It was just as wonderful as you described it. We plan to come again!

Going to Destin again in two weeks! Thanks for your many years of producing some of the highest quality videos ever on TH-cam.
Now this is why I subscribe to your videos. Great like most of what you have put together but really appreciate ones like this.
Great to see you guys BACK and in rare form, with something UNIQUE and interesting. I might head down that way sometime ... I never HEARD of 30A!

Was there in March 2018 with our RV. My wife and I absolutely loved the whole area!!!

Henderson State Park in Destin is beautiful! Short walk to those beautiful beaches💕
Love 30A!! Thanks for reminding me. It's time to get back down there!!

I love traveling vicariously with you guys ! You are the envy of everybody who even dreams about traveling and camping.

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing these gems ❤️ I only wish I was old enough to retire, lol 😆 vacations aren’t long enough!
Yea, a travel video. 30A looks 👍. So many places so little time.......be safe in your travels. Thanks for sharing.
Oh I miss that area! Seeing Bud and Allies in Seaside brings back memories. Grayton beach is the best. Seafood is the best.
The state park, bike paths, and seafood look awesome! Thanks for giving away this "secret", although it looks like about a million other people were down there with you!
We stayed at Topsail Hill Preserve last year. Very nice park.
Thanks for the video. I really enjoy your sense of humor and love the photo on Amazon with the two of you and the flamingo. Just great!
Fun episode. Really good depth of info without dwelling too long on a portion. Nice balance if I were asked. Thanks for all the fun with Doggie-Do

Fell in love with this area when I was 20 years old. Maybe I haven't traveled enough, but 30A beaches are the best for the swimming and the sand.
Horribilis is really CuTE! Lovely video
Nice drone footage. Must have been alot of work. Thanks Sean to you and yours.
For those of us who grew up in Atlanta, that area was always the best vacation destination if you wanted great beaches.
I highly highly recommend renting a pontoon boat and going to the nature preserve that is part of Tyndall Air Force base shell island. It is amazingly beautiful beaches and the times I have been there in the summer August has been basically deserted.

We had to make reservations in February 2019 for a Topsail Hill RV site in January 2020. I can't wait.
We're on our third trip to Topsail Hill State Park and, based on your video, we tried Louis Louis last night. Fantastic!
Thanks for the great info! I think this will be on the books for us soon!
all I can say is........WOW!!!!!!!!!!! just beautiful
This video is amazingly timed! We are heading down to Topsail in 2 weeks for my 40th birthday. It looks amazing and I can’t wait. We will definitely head to Louis Louis for dinner.
LOVE 30A!!! Great and beautiful video.
You are inspirational. Every since we met you in Mesa we love you even more. We will try to see 30A
We will be at Topsail Hill in August, our favorite place in the southeast!
Thanks for sharing, it looks beautiful. Will need to add to bucket list. Keep on RVing.
I think I prefer the Yukon. So peaceful and quiet. Glad you enjoy it but we love Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, Montana, and New Mexico.
We love those places too, but sometimes it's fun to hit the beach and do some swimming! :)
@@kristymichael We enjoy the hots springs even more. We have been there before at the beach. It was nice just too many people.
Beautiful!! Thanks for the tour!
We love it there. Spent 10 months in 2007 on the panhandle
What a beautiful country we have! Thanks for sharing your lovely wildlife shots and videos.
The video is Great but the pics of Baby Girl are Everything! She's a Natural!
Lou💚
Thank you both so much for sharing your secrets.
Beautiful! I have lived in Florida all my life and I have never been to that part of the State. Definitely on my "must-do" list. Thank you for another great video.
Not complaining about your other videos, but this location review was surprising and welcome! Thanks
One of your best presentations! 30A is definitely on my destination bucket list! Beautiful.
We love 30A and Tophill Preserve State Park! I would add that you can rent bikes pretty cheap (and bike trailers for all your beach stuff) from the Campground office there. They are pretty beat up bikes, but fine for getting back and forth from the beach. The trailer was also handy for going to and from the laundromat in the campground.
Been going to 30a for many years, love it! Our favorite is Destin Beach and RV Resort. Thanks for another good video.
Saw the title and thought, oh no, not another electricity video!!! We're not near Florida. We need some beach time! Thanks,
Brendan & Lena.
Awesome information! Our 10year anniversary is this year in October and maybe the wife would be interested in bringing the camper! Thank you!
We love topsail hill. The only State campground that I know of in Florida with a pool.
Some really fantastic photos you guys...
You guys are phenomenal!!! I’ve become a real fan of yours. Thanks for sharing your secret places. I totally enjoyed this video. I’ll be watching and hope to visit in the near future. Happy and safe travels!!!!
We were there first two weeks of June. Great place and we will be going back.
Great video! I love topsail state park. It also has an inground pool. Love the Florida panhandle. Being from Louisiana we always go to Florida panhandle for the summer vacation.
Great post, and wonderful videography. And being on the West side of FL is a bonus :)
You guys are the reason that the first place we went with our Airstream was Camp Gulf...so thank you for that! We can not wait to try these other parks.

Until your video, I've never heard of it...it looks gorgeous, thank you!!
I keep coming back here just to find more uses for my banana slicer! Well, there is all that other useful stuff. Keep 'em coming you two!
Awesome , we are reserved at Topsail Hill in August. Thanks for the video!
Thank You guys! Simply awesome!
Oh you're in my backyard! This is the most beautiful place on earth!
Thank you for the great information Sean and Kristy!
On my bucket list now. Thank you!
I stopped telling people about 30A over a decade ago, it got to where so many of our friends would go we could hardly book our favorite single story condo😫 It is so beautiful there we almost retired there but settled on a lake resort area. We need to do a Florida run again soon.

Hey folks, This month (December 2020) we tried "Topsail Hill" per your advice and we weren't disappointed. Thanks
first time I went to topsail hill it was free, a long walk to the beach but well worth it, it was a midweek afternoon and the only people on the beach were two local young ladies tanning. then along came a hippie riding in the hard sand on a bicycle, he had the bike loaded, was struggling with it and said he was going to get to Destin before dark. I was only there to take pictures. I hope he made it.
Your drone work is on point, guys.
I loved the pictures of Baby Girl. We are getting a second chihuahua next week, can't wait!
Chihuahuas rule!
Thanks for the video! I live here and have for 40 years. It is awesome there but I have better “secret places” I love more then 30A in SRB. There is another part of 30A that is west of there and a whole lot better. Thanks for the advertising lol. I have a farm just north of there you can stay next time y’all come through....15 acres and two stocked ponds..js
The emerald coast is amazing! Headed there next week! 😎
What a gem. Ty
Nice travel video. Thanks much for sharing Sean and Christie.
Thanks! Didn't know about this place!!
Thanks for sharing! Looks beautiful!
Love it! Thanks for a new destination. Wifey and I thinking of heading that way for Christmas
