re: What is the 30A sticker?

The area of 30A is actually quite beautiful and encompasses Dune Allen on the East End and Rosemary Beach on West End. The beaches are beautiful and the covenants restrict high rises and Alvin’s Islands.
That said, like most good things, it’s been over commercialized and crowded.
From what I understand from a real estate friend down there, probably 60% of the homes are owned by Atlanta area residents. Wealthy Atlanta folks want to act like poorman’s Hampton’s residents IMO.

The most insightful post I've read on TD.

I missed a turn on the way to Port St. Joe once and ended up in Watercolor, FL.
It was right as dusk was turning into night. People were milling around, making their way from beach to vacation home to restaurant by foot, or bicycle, or golf cart.
The whole scene was hauntingly beautiful somehow. It's one of those memories that's always stuck with me.
I was lost, tired, and having a hard time seeing and navigating. It was during a pretty rough time in my life, and I remember really perceiving my own mortality, looking at the carefree vacationers but not really hearing anything in the silence of my car.
I guess what I took away from that was that the world is really vast, and there's a lot of happiness out there, but the sun can't shine on all of us

Pretty sure the A is for Alternate

Bunch of salty, salty bastards in here. Maybe people just like going to 30A? They sell these stickers for pretty much every vacation destination JH, OBX, HH, etc.

No. Took some time off. I am planning a big college camp tour next summer so I promised the wife I would not be running any of the college camps this summer.

Can someone explain to me why something like three quarters of “30A” isn’t actually along 30A?
It wasn’t until this thread that I found out that Navarre is apparently claimed by this silliness.

But the 30a on the stickers represents a brand more than a location, anyway

Everybody keeps referring to that area as a bunch of poors, poorman's _______, etc. But I'd put those beaches up against beaches in any other parts of the country as far as beautiful. The water is emerald green/bluish color on a good day, the white sand is kept up and pretty, just a pretty beach. You go anywhere else in the country and try to find that combination (besides somewhere else in Florida) and you're going to have a hard time matching it. And the people who own condos there are far from being poor. You have to realize that those people own that condo and probably have a real nice home (nicer than anything any of us live in) somewhere else that they live in.
Yeah, it's not as cool to talk around the cocktail table with the hoity toity crowd about spending the weekend at your condo in Florida vs spending the weekend in the Hamptons (or wherever else) - but the beaches themselves (in my opinion) are prettier in Florida on that stretch of the gulf coast. Granted, the mansions in other areas are much nicer, but I'm talking strictly the beach itself.

Not sure what percentage are from Atlanta but most homes being built in Seaside and Watercolor have a sign showing where owner is from. Lots of Louisiana, Nashville, Birmingham, Texas,etc. Never got the hate for this place. Easy drive, nice beach, good restaurants. We love it.

A few sites seem to, but I’m certainly not inclined to argue in favor

It’s pretty funny when people have one, but don’t even own a place there

The only thing worse than the 30a douche is the I’ve been going to 30a before it was popular douche

30A was white people's best kept secret for about 15 years until white bitches with Speak-To-Your-Manager haircuts fricked it up with their stickers on their SUV's in metro Atlanta.
Now everybody goes there, and it's just another Destin but less high-rises and more houses, and the trashy poor people go there now too, they rent the big house and split it all up between the extended family members, so you still have the undesirable redneck element on the beach and around town. It's just a matter of time before the whole place goes to shite. Then Ft. Walton and the Miracle Strip will fire back up and be the cool new thing from 45 years ago. It's all cyclical. Hell, Daytona is already making a comeback on the Atlantic side.

How far past the point are you going to go before you realized you missed it?
