With excellent stores like Anthropologie and Pottery Barn, Grand Boulevard’s retail mix is aligning nicely with their established dining scene. Wide shaded walkways, lush greens and stone facades will have you looking for excuses to visit, and there are plenty. Like Happy Hour, for instance.
Sun worshippers, surfers, beach babes, professionals, and entrepreneurs are all busy, whether in an office or on the beach. Everyone deserves to take a break from the daily grind to grab a cocktail and kick back. No need to rinse the salt water from your hair, the sand from your feet or polish your loafers - just walk in and belly up to one of these cool, laid-back outdoor bars where the rum flows and the frequenters feel right at home in our latest SoWal List.
Local painter Justin Gaffrey began his career as an artist after working many years as a chef and local restaurant owner. Justin was actually building furniture in 2000 when a primitive Caribbean folk style painting caught his eye and inspired, he painted something similar on a piece of furniture.
Bud and Alley’s is the perfect place to grab a sunny table with friends for lunch this Fall. Small plates, sandwiches, and salads make for a light-yet-satisfying lunch before hitting up the shops around town. Whether you opt for a table inside the dining room (think wall-to-wall windows with an Old Florida cottage feel!) or a breezy seat on the deck, views of the dunes and Gulf are ubiquitous.
Not long ago, in a not-so-far-off land, there existed a magic kingdom known as Scenic Hwy. 30A….locals and visitors to this enchanted land were amazed at the beauty of the area and just how doggone friendly everyone seemed.
