I must say that I can never remember an October on 30A with this many people here along 30A. I suppose the “Fall breaks” that schools have throughout the Southeast have created a busy time here as Fall is in full swing and rental properties are full of visitors.
Here is a quick list of happenings along the beach as Halloween approaches:
As the Summer crowds have now thinned out here along the beach with school starting and football season here, we are set to celebrate the last holiday of the Summer season; Labor day. There are some exciting events planned for the upcoming weekend but before we get in to those, I want to encourage everyone to consider a last weekend here at the beach. The water is absolutely beautiful right now. There is no seaweed to be seen anywhere and the waters are a brilliant combination of aqua green and deep blue; prettiest they have been all year.
Here is a quick list of fun things to do this weekend along 30A…
