Amy Walchak with Avalon Photography is one of the best in the business and has a ton of experience with beach family portraits. These pictures will melt mom’s heart!

4.    Have a Picnic

You can’t go wrong with a picnic. The gorgeous May weather on 30A is too perfect to not take advantage of it! There are countless picnic locations in the area like the Seaside Amphitheater, the dune lake state parks, or the lawn of the Eden Gardens Plantation. There are also several great food options on 30A to choose from, depending on what mom likes best!

5.    Rent Yolo boards

While you’re outside, now is as good a time as any to pick up some Yolo boards or ocean kayaks from a beach rental shop and head to the beach! Mom will be amazed by the beauty of the Gulf of Mexico from the vantage point of the second sandbar far from the seashore. Stand-up paddle boarding is a local favorite beach activity that mom will enjoy.

6.    Amavida and 30A Farmer’s Market in Rosemary Beach

Mom needs her morning coffee, and the Rosemary Beach Amavida makes a tasty cup. A great way to spend Mother’s Day morning is to stroll through Rosemary’s 30A Farmer’s Market.
