It’s the most wonderful time of the year on 30A. Sure, we don’t have the snow and the cut your own Christmas tree farms but, we offer a unique getaway from grey winter skies and freezing temps. Our winters are what most northerners would consider warm and we think everyone should try a winter holiday beach vacation at least once in their lives. Palm trees and white sands await but, 30A also has plenty of fun holiday events to choose from.
