Snag a seat on the top level deck if you can, but no matter where you sit, this is a Seaside gem & you really can’t go wrong with anything here.
Eat: Paradis
82 South Barrett Square, Rosemary Beach, FL 32461, (850) 534-0400
I've never had anything on their menu that I didn't love! Hands down some of the best food on 30a and worth the price! Their Moscow mules are the best in all of Santa Rosa Beach – if you sit at the bar, ask for Jeff to make you a drink!

You haven’t lived til you’ve devoured the clothesline bacon. Or for that matter, the pimiento cheese hand pies, famous Crab Cakes and the Havana Grouper.
Eat: The Perfect Pig
4281 E County Highway, Santa Rosa Beach, FL 32459, (850) 213-0701
This Seagrove restaurant is a 30A hot spot. They are open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner– but I’d go later in the day when the pig pizza is available. It’s supposed to be THE best.
