30A Water Activities
Even though all your 30A beach vacation needs is sand, surf, sun, and a drink with a little umbrella in it, there’s no harm in kicking it up a notch by taking advantage of the multitude of the other amazing 30A water activities available such as tours to little-known aquatic hideaways, rentals, and special classes to try new interests and skills and to explore new passions.
When it comes to water activities on 30A beaches, there are more ways than you think to enjoy the water with or without getting your feet wet. Certainly, lounging in a beachside Adirondack chair at sunrise and frolicking in the waves at sunset should be on your to-do list, but you should also take the plunge in exploring and discovering the other water activities on 30A.
Book a Canoeing, Kayaking, or SUP Tour
Guided tours are fun ways to conveniently see the area while also learning new things. For example, on a kayak tour of the two coastal dune lakes, you’re sure to learn that Coastal Dune Lakes are a rare phenomenon; only a few places in the world like Madagascar, New Zealand, and Australia have them in addition to Fort Walton Beach. Imagine what else a tour has in store.
Explore 30A to Cypress Springs
Discover the best kayaking trails of 30A as you paddle the crystal-clear cold spring waters through the “Fountain of Youth” on a daylong Cypress Springs tour. Not only will you see some of the most beautiful secret sites of coastal Florida, you’ll also learn about local wildlife and power around on an underwater scooter once at the spring.
Fish the Gulf or Choctawhatchee Bay
A fishing excursion to the Gulf or inshore on Choctawhatchee Bay is one of the most exciting ways to make lasting memories on the waters of 30A. Let the touring company handle the details; all you have to focus on is reeling in a great time.
Take a SUP Tour at Sunset
Stand Up Paddleboarding or YOLO boarding is a fun way to get up close and personal on the water without actually getting in the water. Take a SUP tour where you paddle from the lagoon at Grayton Beach to the calm waters of Choctawhatchee Bay. Enjoy photos, dolphin viewing, and even Happy Hour at The Bay Restaurant (if conditions are right) on an unforgettable, picturesque tour.
Get a Close-Up View of the Rare Coastal Dune Lakes
If seeing the coastal dune lakes from a new point of view is a bucket-list item of yours, then make sure you book a YOLO Board or kayak tour of the rare coastal dune lakes.
Explore 30A on a Boat
Try another approach to getting on the water without getting in; book a dolphin cruise or an airboat tour to see waterfront wildlife in a differ way. A three-hour dolphin cruise around the Gulf of Mexico makes for a thrilling sightseeing adventure while the ambiance of a private sunrise or sunset airboat tour can’t be beat.
You can also book a tour of some of the lesser-seen aquatic sites of Florida. Take a motorboat tour with a knowledgeable local and discover the Choctawhatchee River as well as the freshwater swimming hole, River Run Spring.
Get a Rental & DIY Your Adventure
Obviously, sometimes it’s more fun to DIY adventure and to explore for yourself. Needless to say, if you want it, you can rent it. Rent any one of the following to make the most of your 30A water adventure:
