Planning a 30A Florida Bachelorette Getaway is part art, part logistics. You're coordinating personalities, preferences, and probably a few strong opinions — all while trying to make it unforgettable for the bride. But that’s why this area can’t be beaten. This stretch of sugar-white sand and charming beach towns offer everything you want from a bachelorette trip: sun, style, relaxation, and just the right amount of buzz.
Whether your group leans beach bum or brunch queen, wine night, or rooftop dancing, 30A makes it easy to find your vibe. Here's how to plan a bachelorette getaway along the Emerald Coast that hits all the right notes — plus five luxury vacation homes that were practically made for the occasion.
Why 30A Is the Move for Bachelorettes
There’s a reason Rosemary Beach, Alys Beach, and Seagrove are climbing the list of top bachelorette destinations — and it’s not just because of the Instagrammable architecture. The 30A area has all the makings of a weekend to remember: walkable beach towns, upscale restaurants, private beach access, and plenty of activities that don’t feel forced or overly “planned.”
Unlike louder destinations (looking at you, Broadway in Nashville), 30A bachelorette weekends are less about chaos and more about curated fun — think beach bonfires, rosé-fueled brunches, rooftop dinners, and morning yoga by the pool. And with private luxury homes to come back to, your group can spread out, unwind, and celebrate in total comfort.
Essentials to Pack for a 30A Bachelorette
You don’t need to pack your entire closet, but a few themed touches go a long way. We’ve seen it all: matching swimsuits, inflatable ring toss games for the pool, “bride tribe” sashes, and DIY mimosa bars in the kitchen.
Here are a few extras to bring that always hit:
- Bluetooth speaker for beach tunes
- Custom tumblers for morning iced coffee (and margs later)
- Beach hats or visors
- Polaroid or instant camera
- Cute bike baskets for rides to brunch
- Games for late-night laughs
Things to Do on Your 30A Bachelorette Weekend
Here’s a mix of activity ideas, both chill and celebratory, to help you build out the perfect itinerary.
Beach Day + Bonfire
Spend your first full day claiming your spot on the sand. Our concierge offerings from VacayZen can set up beach chairs, umbrellas, and even plan a bonfire on the beach to wind down the evening. Add s’mores or a private picnic set up to make it feel extra special.
Brunch + Bike Ride
Start with lattes and breakfast boards at Fonville Press, then cruise through Alys Beach or down to Rosemary on cruiser bikes (included at many of our homes). It’s a vibe.
Private Chef Night
Skip the wait for a table and have dinner brought to you! Our concierge can arrange for a private chef to cook in your rental, perfect for keeping the celebration intimate (and heels-optional).
Rooftop Cocktails
Make a reservation at Pescado for sunset drinks, or Cuvee 30A for wine and live music. If you’re feeling dressy, Restaurant Paradis sets the mood for a final-night dinner.
Add-On Experiences
You can also book through our concierge team, including:
- Private boat charters or tiki cruises
- Grocery delivery so your fridge is stocked
- Beachside picnics or charcuterie setups
- Adventure tours if the bride wants some thrills
- Massages and spa treatments
