30A Day Trip 2024
Sightseeing
A nice quiet beach with restrooms, a shower and boardwalk. A little different from PCB West End but the water is just as blue and clean. Beach weddings are lovely to watch here. You can also pull a permit and have a campfire.

The Truman show was filmed here. Simply gorgeous village atmosphere with food truck airstream trailers, a village green and amphitheater, great F&B and beautiful beaches. Can be crowded during peak season but still worth a visit.

Do sit at the counter and enjoy the best Corned Beef hash ever, big enough to split. If there is a line (and there will be) play some cornhole outside.

A Grayton Beach legend. Be prepared for a wait. Super kitschy inside with Christmas tree and fairy lights, smothered in movie and record posters. The Food is good but big portions. You could easily split. Ask for a booth in the bar area, by far the best spot. Very often good live Jazz.
The store does a great take on album cover t-shirts with a Red Bar twist. So cool.

It's new and great. All the brewskis from Idyll Hound without the long trek to the brewery. Also a full bar. Their cocktails are delicious. The food menu has something for everyone. Steak Fries to nibble on while you decide on the main thing. Oh and there is hot chicken and hot chicken mac and cheese.
The decor is gorgeous and there is indoor and outdoor dining. It's Rosemary Beach prices but worth it. Noise level was not bad when we where there late afternoon.
