Holidays on 30a


During the spring and summer, everyone knows what to do when you are on vacation along the emerald shores of 30a: go to the beach! But what about once the weather starts to cool off and the jackets get taken out of the back of the closet? Just because the temperatures drop doesn’t mean that you have to drop the beach time.
