Beach Photo Diary | Watersound, FL

I had intended to post this roundup last week but… life got in the way so we’re a little later than expected. But we’re here now, baby!

I grew up going to 30A with my family every summer for as far back as I can remember. I actually worked at the Watersound Beach Club the summer after my sophomore year of college! So I’ve loved this area for so long as it holds so many special memories.

The past 10 years, my dad has rented a big house for all 15 of us. 7 kids under 9, three sets of tired parents, and one set of incredibly generous grandparents who book the house and feed all of their offspring which requires regular visits to the grocery store. I don’t know how much longer we will all be able to fit in one house, so it’s really special to enjoy it while it lasts! You can find houses available to rent here.

We skipped last year’s visit as it didn’t feel worth the risk with so many physicians in the family who didn’t have access to the vaccine yet. But this year it was back on, and after skipping last summer I appreciated that fluffy sand and warm teal water more than ever. I love the California and Georgia beaches but they are just not the same as Florida water and sand. Not even close!
