Watercolor 30A Guide

Watercolor is a serene community nestled along Highway 30A in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida known for its beautiful resort style amenities and private beaches. Located directly in between Grayton Beach State Park and the idyllic town of Seaside – Watercolor is the perfect spot for both families and couples to escape to. You can enjoy access to Camp Watercolor, Watercolor Beach Club, their private and heated pools (plus water slides!), restaurants, tennis center, hiking trails and town center shopping during your stay. This community is also easily walkable, or a bike ride/golf cart ride away from main activities.

(*Wristbands are required for entry to private amenities for all guests 5 years and older. These must be individually approved by Watercolor’s Homeowners Association prior to arrival.)

Beach Chairs and Umbrellas

We highly recommend reserving your beach chairs and umbrellas as soon as possible before your stay, as they book up fast and are based on availability/season and not guaranteed.

• Book Watercolor Beach Setups here

Watercolor guests cannot rent beach gear from a third party vendor on Watercolor’s private beaches. Watercolor’s reserved beach setups are for the first and second row of priority chair seating. If they are all booked up during your stay and you don’t have a reservation, you can check on the day-of as early as possible to try to rent third row and back seating from their on-site beach attendants only, or bring your own beach gear that must be set up behind priority rows. This is first come, first serve basis.

*There is an ADA accessible ramp available on the west boardwalk at Watercolor Beach Club to access Watercolor Beach.

Dining

Offering a range of restaurant options on property with gulf views and more, Watercolor has something for everyone. We recommend dining al fresco at Wine Bar and Fish Out of Water. For an overview of Watercolor’s restaurant options: https://www.watercolorresort.com/dining
