Travelers come to Florida’s 30A year after year with a long list of options for fun in mind. For some, a trip this way is all about time on the sand and in the sea while others are drawn to the charming coastal communities and opportunities to explore and shop in style. No matter how time in this scenic locale is spent, it’s likely that two things are consistently true. First, visitors will work up an appetite along the way, and second, they’ll be looking for a place to enjoy a meal that keeps the view a priority. Combine the best of both by adding these restaurants along 30a with outdoor dining options to your list of must-try destinations while you’re here.
