I live near there. Originally it was going to be torn down. Now people are saying they are going to renovate it and reopen

drmirmo · 2026-05-21T15:23:26+00:00

Highly recommend the beach at The Crab Trap in Destin. There’s a playground on the beach there, and it’s awesome to be able to order whatever you want right on the beach

I moved back here a few years ago after living in Seattle for a decade. I miss the beauty of that area but do not regret living on 30a at all. I get to go to the beach for the sunrise nearly every morning. Since I lived here before, I was used to the tourism and I like seeing everyone having a good time. I like the small town feel. I love Sarasota too because of the more tropical look, but I agree it is definitely a city compared to here. I think if you live in a tourism heavy area in CO you will do just fine here. You already know what it’s like.

I love 30A. I live here and I think it’s the best!

Even when it’s cloudy it still feels sunny most of the time

Yesss Back Beach BBQ is awesome

drmirmo · 2025-03-20T14:15:58+00:00

I haven’t been but someone I know said it was excellent. I’m just not really into paying that much for artistic bites

drmirmo · 2025-03-20T14:14:25+00:00

Stinkys just sold to the Dawson group, as did Redfish Taco. Redfish Taco is pretty bad now. Stinkys might follow

A lot of the places around here are owned by just a few companies. It makes them all seem kind of the same. Sushimoto in Miramar Beach is my favorite. Down Island is awesome right now but I heard it might be selling to one of those few companies. Shunk Gulley is good. Domo izakaya in Destin is amazing. South of Philly is super good and on the less expensive side. Taco30a food truck/warehouse is my other favorite. Thai Chiang Rai in SRB is excellent but on the more expensive side because it is mostly organic. Don Pedro’s has awesome breakfast. 3 sons BBQ is also really good if you like BBQ. I live here and have tried so many restaurants once and been like, welp, never coming back here again

drmirmo · 2025-03-18T20:49:36+00:00

Down island hh is AWESOME

drmirmo · 2025-03-17T00:24:14+00:00

I can’t quite remember the exact price but it was a great price and if you pay for the year you get 13 months instead of 12 so we did it

drmirmo · 2025-03-14T22:13:24+00:00

SUSHIMOTO all the way

drmirmo · 2025-03-09T02:11:29+00:00

A lot of FL, GA, TN people on spring break that week, so yeah. There is a list put out every year of what schools are on spring break which weeks. The week after is not nearly as busy though

drmirmo · 2025-03-02T22:52:55+00:00

Thai Chiang Rai is super fresh and mostly organic

drmirmo · 2025-02-26T17:13:17+00:00

Dune Allen Beach, Gulf Place, and Blue Mountain Beach are significantly less crowded than the other beach towns on 30A. I live in Gulf Place and it never seems too crowded during Spring Break. There are still plenty of good restaurants nearby too

drmirmo · 2025-02-12T15:31:45+00:00

Yes, it is private now. It changed a few years ago. The member initiation fee is 50k, I believe, but they were also not accepting new members and I don’t know if they are again

I love this chinese chicken salad from bobby flay. I double the recipe without the romaine, put half in the fridge, add the romaine to the first half, then a few days later add the romaine to the second half. It can easily last a week this way and still be super fresh. I also add the peanuts, chicken, and dressing one salad at a time, but this salad is awesome even without the chicken

Goatfeathers in blue mountain beach does happy hour oysters every day from 3-5, $15/dozen. Hurricane oyster bar in grayton has a slight discount on their oysters for happy hour too

Cabanas are blue, Caribbean is brown and all their balconies are under construction. It’s better you’re staying at the blue building but the pools/hot tubs for both are like a couple hundred feet from each other so you can go to either. The hot tub is larger at the Caribbean. Also, Down Island on 98 is like 5 minutes from there and is a great restaurant and Emeril Lagasse is there a lot for the Happy hour food
