If you just moved to 30A, you do not join a “30A Newcomers Club.” That name is only on our mill. There is no public office, no hours, no application. Same for “30A Moms Club” (we pasted a national MOMS Club quote), “Grayton Beach Preservation Society,” and “Alys Beach Residents’ Club.” Alys is a private town. The farmers market is a Saturday market, not a membership.
The real doors have a street, a clock, or a signup form.

FAQs
Is there a 30A Newcomers Club?
Not one we can send you to. Start at Caring & Sharing, Coastal Seniors, CAA, or turtle ambassadors.
I have kids. Where do I go?
County rec sports (see our youth-sports page) and CAA classes. Destin 30A Moms is a blog, not a chapter meeting.
I am over 50.
Coastal Seniors, 70 Logan Lane, 850-280-5342.
