30A in July: Sunshine & Summer Fun for 2025
There’s something special about 30A in July. While temperatures in July and August are the highest during the year, it’s easy to stay cool and enjoy the sun in a dreamy rental by the Gulf – with a pool! With summer in full swing, the Gulf is bustling with life, the perfect getaway for families and vacationing couples.
With long daylight hours and consistently high UV indexes, you’ll want to pack extra sunscreen. Make sure to bring water bottles on outings, wear long sleeves to protect your skin from the sun, and wear sunglasses and hats.

What to Do on 30A in July 2025
YOLO Paddleboard Adventures
YOLO’s guided tours are great for families. See 30A’s rare coastal dune lakes and enjoy some time on the water. Paddle Western Lake or venture out into the Gulf—it’s a one-of-a-kind way to see 30A from a new perspective.
Farmers Markets
July is peak season for fresh fruit and produce. Catch a market just about any day of the week:
- Rosemary Beach Farmers Market – Sundays at North Barrett Square, 9 AM–1 PM
- Seaside Farmers Market – Thursdays and Saturdays at Seaside Amphitheater, 9 AM–1 PM
Grab a snack, listen to live music, and check out local handmade goods and treats.
Shopping on 30A
Avoid the hottest part of the day and grab some lunch as you explore the local boutiques and beach shops. 30A’s shopping scene is full of charm. Don’t leave without a locally made candle or a “30A” tee.
Beach Bonfires
Yes, you can have a bonfire on the beach—and it’s every bit as magical as it sounds. Local bonfire companies like Vacayzen handle setup, s’mores, tables and chairs. Simplify your bonfire experience so that all you have to do is show up, kick off your flip-flops, and toast a marshmallow under the stars.
