Ingredients for the perfect 30A summer vacation:

Wondering what to pack for your 30A vacay? We suggest packing for play. Make sure you cover the basics like beach clothes, good swimsuits, sunglasses, comfy sandals (avoid flip flops if you plan on riding bikes), beach toys (shovels, sand castles, a ball to toss, boogie boards, etc.), sun screen, wide brimmed beach hats, etc. But here are some things you may not have thought of: a waterproof speaker to play your favorite beach tunes while you lay out surfside, pool noodles or inflatables to keep you afloat without the effort (they even have inflatable beer holders so you can swim with your favorites drinks. Just remember: no glass on the beach), a cooler for drinks so you can stay hydrated in the hot Florida sun and a collapsible beach wagon for hauling it all easily. Many of our 30A vacation rental homes include a beach wagon for ease of use.
