I'm so excited! I'm a frequent Seagrover, and this weekend I'm bringing 4 girlfriends with me! We are all moms of children ages 2 - 8 years old. We can't wait to have a girls trip sans children.
Many have never been to the 30A area (are they in for a treat or what?)!
What are some "musts" in your opinion? We are arriving on Thursday afternoon and will have all day Friday and Saturday. Some are leaving on Sunday.
sooooo... what do you think?
I was thinking- Seafood at the house on Thurs night plus drink(s) on Thursday at the beach to watch the sunset, beach on Friday and maybe going over to Seaside later that day for the outdoor market and then Red Bar for dinner. Saturday - again, the beach and not sure about Saturday night. I LOVE Stinky's, so I was thinking about that. Also was going to suggest a grilled grouper sandwich from Seagrove Market if they want that for lunch one day.
We all live in the Atlanta area so no need to go to the "fancy" restaurants for the few days we are there- we get plenty of that at home!
Any other thoughts?

When "the girl's" and I actually get together outside of work, we love Hurricane's for the Bloody Mary's and Rendevous in Seaside.

I'd still hit one of our "fancy" restaurants as they are top rated and probably better than anything in Atlanta. You'll find all the restaurants and eateries along 30A a cut above almost anywhere else. Get some take out from Cocoons to go with your sunset toast. Try Eden State Gardens and Wesley Southern Mansion up in Pt. Washington for a historic and beautiful tour. Shop for art, clothing and collectibles along 30A. Check out SoWal for performances and special attractions for your evening entertainment. I think Cafe 30A has Martini Night on Tuesday and Thursday. You might try that as you arrive and settle in. Most of my girlfriend guests always want to stop by Fusions in Seaside for jewelry or special glass. Sunset from Bud n Alley's is always special. Got to stop. You said you only had a few days.

Smiling Fish Cafe' for lunch (view of beach and you can just walk over to Ed Walline beach park....) and dinner at the Red Bar ! Criolla's is terrific, too. Eat up!

Bud & Alley's would be a fun spot for ya'll on Saturday night. We love to go up there after dinner and on weekends they typically have a band. We also love the Old Florida Fish House - great fish and sushi and live music in the bar area. Of course you've got to hit The Red Bar at some point for dinner and drinks. Also, Hurricane's Oyster Bar is a fun spot for casual food and and great margaritas. For lunch one day, you should try Flip Flops Grill in the Grand Isle shops. The food is great (po-boys, burgers, etc) and they have some great daquiris and beers on tap. Hope you have so much fun!!!

Don't make any plans, don't rush to get anywhere, live in the moment and enjoy the relaxed pace of Beach Time.

Try Flip-Flops
We are a fun easy place to bring the girls or the girls and kids...you can even wear your flip-flops! Just an old fashioned style beach burger joint right on 30-A (4281 E. Co 30-A), next to Amavida Coffee...
See Ya

Well you might want to go by Seaside for "First Friday" and wander around the galleries. Rendevous is a great place to have an aperitivo or end of evening glass of wine.
Find or create a Derby Party for Saturday afternoon and watch the Run for the Roses at the beach!

Tarpon Club on top of Bud & Alleys is a 100 percent must for lunch or sunset or both. Until they tear it down to build more ugly cement boxes it personifies what is great about the area.

Your girls sound a lot like mine -- and I'd take my group to the Taco Bar in Seaside one night for margaritas, chips, and tacos. Great casual atmosphere. The other night I'd do tapas at the bar at Criollas. They don't call them tapas. but order a bunch of starters to share, have a drink, and get a recommendation from the adorable chef. He is always doing something off menu, and it's always fabulous and he is always rounding at the bar...and they have oysters, stone crab claws, and shrimp for the raw bar, now. Spend the rest of your time at the beach!

when my girls group was down, we did Red Bar, D and K, Amore, and B and A. We had a great time at all!! We also did a deck night and brought in appetizers and drank on our deck watching the sunset! What a fun time!! I don't remember Red Bar much but what I do remember was fun!! We also did a bunch of sitting on the beach and reflecting. We have two friends that just went through divorces so we celebrated and cried in our bloody marys, crabby girls and margaritas. It was a weekend to remember!!
