Our Favorite Restaurants

This is hard to pin down because there are SO many great places nearby. Here are our top picks...
Sit out on the deck, perched up high, overlooking the beautiful white, sandy beach in the quaint town of Seaside! The food is great (farm to table). The drinks are great. Then take a stroll on the beach! We especially love the peel and eat shrimp and fish dip. Sunset is celebrated daily with the ringing of the bell. Grab a spot with a sunset view, or begin your day with breakfast upstairs. Bud & Alley’s Waterfront Restaurant is situated in Seagrove Beach, less than 5 miles from Prominence on 30A, or roughly 10 minutes’ driving distance.

Places to Explore (besides the beach)

Local parks and places to go exploring, see wildlife, ride bikes, fishing, golfing, and more!
30A is famous for its incredible phenomenon of coastal dune lakes, which are so rare that there are only four countries in the world where they occur. In the U.S., you can only find coastal dune lakes along the Gulf Coast and in one single pocket in Oregon, with fifteen of the nation’s coastal dune lakes all located in South Walton and the 30A area. These gorgeous lakes have been around for as long as ten thousand years, creating an exotic wetland from sand redistributed by the wind to create shallow basin lakes teeming with verdant greenery and wildlife.

Timpoochee Trail is an eighteen-mile-long trail that runs the entire length of Highway 30A, allowing you to embrace the small-town atmosphere of 30A while enjoying a leisurely bike ride across multiple beach towns.

Deer Creek State Park - Picnic, Swim, Fish, Wildlife *Beach access point closest to Prominence on 30A (2-3 min bike from house, few more minutes to walk there) 1920-acre state park, 8a-sunset daily, $3 per vehicle. Use the honor box. Correct change is required. $2 Pedestrians, bicyclists, extra passengers. Deer Lake State Park is truly one of 30A’s best-kept secrets. The beach here is secluded and undisturbed and the quarter-mile dune boardwalk is incredible. It provides astounding views and is ideal for those who are not able (or do not wish) to trudge along a sandy path. For the more adventurous, try hiking the half-mile Blue Trail which borders Deer Lake, one of South Walton’s rare coastal dune lakes. Deer Lake State Park is the relocation site for the endangered Choctawhatchee Beach Mouse, which lives within the expansive dune system. Rare plants such as Gulf coast lupine, spoonflower, pitcher plants and Curtiss' sand grass-one of the largest populations found in Florida, are found in the park. Visitors may see splashes of color from summer wildflowers or some of the many species of resident or migratory birds and butterflies.
