Celebrating all that our “30A beach vibe” has to offer - resident musicians, fresh catch seafood, and area artists (check out local legend Bryan Hand’s barroom mural) - Red Fish Taco (RFT) prides itself on delicious food and cocktails, great music, and good times set in a casual yet eclectic atmosphere.
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.
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.
Fast-forward to today, and it seems that some of the old-time feel-goodness has worn off a bit, but if Grayt 30A Vacation Rentals owners Jerri Bryant and Vijay Cohoon have anything to do with it, they are hell-bent on bringing back the good-old days to the SoWal community.
Justin Gaffrey is a sensitive, insightful, creative and successful SoWal artist. He also kills yellow flies with a blowtorch.
He burns them to crisps, their burnt bits blending with colorful layers of dried acrylics texturizing the floor. He sent one to oblivion right in front of me after the little bastard made the final mistake of biting me. Sweet revenge in the studio!
These guys. They’re chomping at the bit to hit the trail….and here I am holding up the show to take a picture of the gang.
We're gathered at Big Daddy’s Bike Shop to head out on the weekly mountain bike ride through nearby Point Washington State Forest. I'm along for the ride and looking forward to the venture.
“This is my favorite part, hear the bass thumping? Sometimes it’ll be tribal music, and sometimes it’s classical,” says Madra McDonald, Justin Gaffrey’s publicist. Surrounded by Point Washington State Forest, we walk across the gravel driveway into the warehouse Justin built to accommodate his growing creative interests, which now include welding and sculpting.
Blue Mountain Beach is smack in the middle of SoWal on Scenic 30A, but it takes a little digging to get to the heart of it. If you drive through Blue Mountain on winding Scenic 30A between Grayton Beach to the east and Santa Rosa Beach to the west, you might miss what makes our quirky little town special.
Blue Mountain Beach prides itself on its laid back attitude and towering beauty. It’s local legend that the first passing sailors mistook the community’s towering sand dunes (covered with Blue Lupine flowers) for mountains after many long months spent at sea.
Local Catch Bar & Grill has been going strong and gaining popularity since opening nine months ago and there are no signs of slowing down. The restaurant's coastal cuisine with a southern twist was an instant hit here in SoWal and they continue to gather faithful followers even over the off season. Known for using quality, fresh ingredients in all of their unique dishes, it's easy to see why Local Catch has already become a must-eat destination.
