30A Thanksgiving Friendly Restaurants

There’s no better place to celebrate Thanksgiving with family and friends than on the beaches of 30A Florida.  Late November weather is typically beautiful making it a great time of year to discover SoWal like never before.  With so many interesting 30A beach communities to explore, why not eliminate cooking / cleaning and take advantage of the many great Thanksgiving dining options in South Walton.  It’s also a great way to support local businesses that were so negatively affected by the Coronavirus pandemic.  Thanks to our friends at Visit South Walton, we’re able to share the following list of tasty take-out and dine-in 30A Thanksgiving dinner options…
