While the beach might be the star of the show, there's so much more to explore just outside your door at A Wave From It All. From scenic biking to state parks and nature trails, here are some of the best outdoor activities to enjoy during your stay:
The Timpoochee Trail runs parallel to 30A and is one of the best ways to explore beach towns, coastal views, and local shops—all by bike. With complimentary cruiser bikes provided at the home, it’s easy to get around and enjoy the fresh air.
Highlights: Ride through Rosemary, Seacrest, Alys Beach, and more—all at your own pace.
Located just a few minutes away, Camp Helen offers hiking, kayaking, birdwatching, and a peaceful beach where Lake Powell meets the Gulf. It’s ideal for nature lovers who want a quiet, scenic escape.
Activities: Kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, hiking, photography
Lake Powell is one of the largest coastal dune lakes in Florida—and it’s a local secret! Rent a kayak or paddleboard and explore the calm waters just inland from the Gulf.
Pro Tip: Early mornings are best for calm conditions and wildlife spotting.
If you’re up for a little adventure, Deer Lake State Park offers a peaceful boardwalk hike through untouched dunes, ending at a pristine, often empty beach.
What to bring: Water, sunhat, camera, and your sense of wonder
Sometimes the simplest outdoor activity is the best. Inlet Beach and nearby shorelines are perfect for sunset walks, morning shell collecting, or simply listening to the waves.
Pro Tip: Low tide and early morning offer the best shells.
Whether you’re up for a scenic adventure or just want to stretch your legs, 30A offers countless ways to enjoy the great outdoors—no car required.
