The Panhandle of Florida is, without question, one of our favorite places to visit. Nestled between Panama City Beach and Destin are the Beach Communities of 30A. They're not exactly a secret, but if they're not on your list of places to visit, they should be! Beautiful water, sugar sand beaches, delicious restaurants, one of kind shops, and the best beach vibe around.  


We were fortunate to have Susan Vallee on the show. Susan is the author of the book, "Meet Me on 30A". Susan talked about the different communities and suggested places to eat, places to stay, and ways to enjoy the area.  


Give it a listen!

Co-Host

    Traci's been shaking up the Dawson County School System for four years now, injecting it with her unique brand of energy and enthusiasm. When she's not molding young minds, you'll find her co-conspiring with her sister at Seasonal Events and Design—because who doesn't love a good party?

    She's a self-proclaimed beach aficionado, never meeting a sandy shore she didn't instantly click with. And let's not forget her partner-in-crime for the past eighteen years, Rob, who's been keeping up with her antics and their three beautiful troublemakers—Ruthie, Chase, and Nash. Together, they're a whirlwind of chaos, laughter, and love.
