The Grayton House - 30A's Most Historic and Storied Home

The Grayton House (known by many previously as "washaway") is the cornerstone of Grayton Beach, and quite possibly the original home in the 30A area. Today, we share a little of the story, and a sneak peek at what's coming Summer 2022...

Impact Update: JCM Children's Home, Leon, Nicaragua

Posted by Jon Lyons on February 10th, 2022

With hearts of gratitude, Thank You!

One of the ways our team at @Live30A has chosen to give back and make an impact is supporting some great work being done at a Children's Home in Leon, Nicaragua called Jesus Centered Ministries, or JCM for short.

Today, we support this ministry and…
