S

ummer time is high season for vacations, and the resort communities of 30A are arguably 

one of the top destinations for stay-and-play escapes in Northwest Florida. From exploring 

the shops at Seacrest to biking the paths that run along the sweet little streets at Rosemary 

Beach, one can find almost any way imaginable to spend those endless days of play. And from 

sunrise to sunset, the many unique offerings on the menus at the eateries of Spell Restaurant 

Group have your appetite for memorable food more than satisfied. 

If you’re looking for the perfect bite to perk 

up your morning and wake up your senses, take 

your place at a table at Grits & Grind and order 

up one of their top-sellers. For those who love 

a hearty dish, the Pork Belly Hash is definitely 

delish, served with perfectly cooked eggs and a rich 

hollandaise. For something on the sweeter side, 

say “oui” to a decadent Monte Christo served with 

the fresh burst of brightness of their champagne 

raspberry preserves or go ape over their Banana 

Bread French Toast.
Grits & Grind is located at 10343 East County Highway 

30A, Seacrest Beach, Florida 32413.

Once you’ve done some exploring around 

town, quell your midday hunger with lunch 

at La Cocina Mexican Grill & Bar, where 

the Latin-inspired menu means that their 

famous street tacos share space with coastal 

fare like fresh Gulf shrimp ceviche and 

a kale salad topped with toasted pepitas, 

heirloom tomatoes, crumbled cotija cheese, 

and avocado. Perfect for keeping your beach 

body looking slim and trim, their shareable 

plates and lighter menu is never light on 

flavor.
La Cocina Mexican Grill & Bar is located at
