We decided to take a last minute trip for Memorial Day weekend. We are kayaking Holmes creek on Sunday, but have Saturday open. It's just me, my wife and two teenage daughters. Does anyone know of anything else to do around that general area? We are willing to travel 30-40 miles from there. Any food recs would be appreciated also. TIA

Drive to the beach. There’s nothing around Bonifay.

Take the girls to Seaside. When you drive down 395, just turn into the dirt roads of Old Seagrove and make your way into back of Seaside, just to avoid 30A.

There are some cool SUV dirt/sand road trails off 395 too.

Falling Waters State Park in Chipley

Florida Caverns State Park in Marianna.
Florida Caverns State Park

Pounce de Leon State Park near Ponce de Leon, about 15 miles or so west of Bonifay.

But going to the beach is a good idea too.

I live close by. What made you choose to stay in Bonifay or where are you staying?

Are you bringing your own kayaks? There’s a lot of good one way kayak trips around you could also do Econfina Creek, Fish the choctawhatchee River or Holmes Creek, go to Morrison springs, etc. I’m not sure what all you are looking for? There’s not a lot close by it’s a rural area and small town.

It was a last minute thing. Did a little research and decided kayaking looked fun. Wasn't very many affordable lodging options with the holiday weekend so we decided to just get a hotel off the interstate. We are going to do the beach on Saturday. Any place to get a decent dinner there Sunday night? Not looking for anything fancy, just a good meal. Thanks.

In Bonifay? No. It’s essentially just an exit on the interstate.

Could be the exit after or the exit before. Sometimes some of these small towns have some hidden gems, mom and pop type places. That’s kinda what I’m looking for.

Sometimes they do, but Bonifay, FL doesn’t

Your best bet I know of for this is Bogey's in Defuniak Springs. 20 minutes away. Small town dinner diner type of place. Chipley probably has something I just don't know it.

The spring water is cold, 68 degrees year round. Feels great in the heat but if its cloudy or cool its chilly. I always recommend kids to wear a long sleeve shirt or skin guard type surf swimsuits.
