Bachelorette Spots in Rosemary Beach, Florida (on 30A)

My bachelorette was in Rosemary Beach, FL and it was A DREAM COME TRUE. 

My matrons of honor did the best job planning everything and it was everything I could have ever wanted and more as a 2024 bride. 

We went to so many cute spots - so if you’re also a bride having her bachelorette on 30A (nickname for the strip of beach towns in this area of the panhandle - they are ALL adorable and I love them!) - you should save this post for your visit. 

As a quick aside, I’ve been going down to 30A since I was a kid (it’s about 5.5 hours from my hometown near Atlanta, Georgia) and there are many cute areas to stay: Alys Beach, Seaside, Watercolor, Watersound, Rosemary Beach… they’re all wonderful. They each have their own vibe (so I’m happy to share more if you’re curious!!) but you can’t go wrong. 

Okay… so where do I recommend based on my most recent trip?

COFFEE SPOTS

Fonville Press in Alys Beach: 

This place has been all the rage lately on IG, so I had to try it. My coffee shop order lately is cold brew with oat milk & it delivered. (although the oat milk is an extra $1.25 and that hurts…)

It has a super cute vibe - and the front part of the shop is a little store with groceries. 

Hot tip: TRY THE NUTELLA HOMEMADE POP-TART… it totally exceeded my expectations. 

(In case you’re wondering…I didn’t track macros during my bachelorette, I made sure to try to get adequate protein and water and made sure to work on mindfully eating! I shared this treat with a few of the girls!)

I also came back here on our ride out for a pre-roadtrip breakfast and I tried the breakfast sandwich with bacon - the cheddar biscuit was VERY good.  

Amavida in Rosemary Beach: 

This place was hopping. You can tell that it’s a popular choice in town. 

I got a cold brew and oat milk here too - I liked Fonville better… but couldn’t put a finger on why. 

One of my friends got a gluten-free muffin and said it was very good!

I also snagged some coffee beans to bring home and I’ve been enjoying them. 

Amavida carries Pink Alchemy House syrup and I needed some coffee sweetner at home so I purchased the vanilla one and I would absolutely recommend it. I usually get Torani from Amazon and this feels a little more bougie, which I don’t hate when I’m trying to convince myself to make coffee at home!

BRUNCH SPOTS

Raw & Juicy in Alys Beach

We went to brunch here on morning 1… I got the breakfast sandwich (OMG, the sourdough was amazing and they really lathered the butter on before they toasted it, which was yummy)

We also shared a gluten-free waffle for the table and wow - I would absolutely recommend you do the same. 

A few of my friends ordered smoothies and juices which they enjoyed!

They don’t have alcohol, so this is a good spot for a fresher “healthier” brunch option. 

Fair warning: most of their tables are outdoors and it was TOASTY for an August morning. 

The Citizen in Alys Beach

Come here for the brunch cocktails and Angel Biscuit. (I ordered the SIESTA AND SUNSHINE and you should too!)

These were my two favorite things here.  Honorable mention also for the beignets!

The place wasn’t so busy (August is a quieter month down on 30A because kids are back in school so there are fewer families around. It’s also hot as BLAZES in August) which was kind of nice because it felt like we had a private space and there weren’t many parties around us. 

This brunch was a highlight of our trip!

COCKTAIL SPOTS

Gallion’s in Rosemary Beach

We came here on Thursday night after arriving while some of the girls set up the house and it was a wonderful spot. Really good cocktails - I tried the Limencello Spritz (I love love love Limencello)

In 2024, I haven’t been drinking as much as the years before, but I find that it’s most worth it for me when I'm at a cocktail bar. A high noon doesn’t feel worth it often, but a bougie cocktail… I’m interested. 

(On Sundays and Mondays, they also have a happy hour, but we weren’t here for this!!)

If you’re looking for a pre-dinner drink with a nice bar - this could be it!

We didn’t eat food, so I can’t comment on this!

Paradis in Rosemary Beach

So full disclosure, we didn’t come to Paradis on this trip - BUT I’ve been before so I’m sliding it in here!


Paradis has a delectable martini list… right up my alley…

Another great spot if you’re looking for pre-dinner drinks (sometimes, at the beach, I like to go out for cocktails and then cook dinner at home at our airbnb… best of all worlds!)

Paradis also has amazing food (though it’s spendy) so eating dinner here is also a wonderful option!!

YOGA SPOT

Myst Yoga

The girls planned a fun surprise outing to a yoga class on Saturday morning and it was so much fun. The class wasn’t heated and the teacher’s flow was a great balance of invigorating but approachable. Great to move our bodies without feeling like it was overwhelming for anyone who hadn’t been to a class in a minute. 

I would absolutely recommend it!!
