Beachside RV trips have a way of sticking with you— and we aren’t talking about the sand in your flip-flops! There’s the calming rhythm of the waves, the sun’s warmth on your skin, and that slower, carefree pace that only the coast can offer. Just imagine stretching out on the sand, wandering through quaint seaside towns, or splashing around in the water. Aren’t you ready to start planning your next adventure?
The success of any beach trip, of course, lies in where you stay. So we’re shining the spotlight on two places where anyone is sure to experience a dose of beachside bliss: Gulf Shores, Alabama and Destin, Florida.
Destin & 30A, Florida
Along Florida’s Emerald Coast lies Destin and 30A, a picturesque stretch of highway connecting beach towns like Seaside, Rosemary Beach, and Grayton Beach. This area is famous for its sugar-white sand and crystal-clear waters, making it a go-to destination for families, couples, and anyone looking to soak up the coastal charm.
Destin and 30A offer endless ways to enjoy your time by the water. You can spend the day relaxing on beautiful beaches or browsing the local shops that make each town feel special. Local state parks and scenic trails provide the perfect backdrop for hiking, biking, or spotting wildlife. The calm, protected waters of the Choctawhatchee Bay offer world-class fishing and great opportunities for paddleboarding and kayaking.
