Whether you're planning a picnic, hunting for one-of-a-kind souvenirs, or just want to taste your way through local flavors, a trip to one of these markets is a must-do on your Emerald Coast itinerary.

Seaside Farmers Market – Seaside on 30A
When: Tuesdays & Saturdays, 9 AM – 1 PM
Where: Seaside Amphitheater
This picture-perfect town delivers charm, coastal breezes, and one of the best farmers markets around.

Bonus: it’s the ideal spot for people-watching and soaking up that iconic 30A vibe.
30 A Farmers Market at Rosemary Beach
When: Sundays, 9 AM – 1 PM

Elegant and eclectic, Rosemary Beach brings a boutique feel to the farmers market experience.

Destin Commons Market

Where: Destin Commons
A newer addition to the Emerald Coast market scene, this one’s perfect for families staying in the Destin area. Think local artists, small-batch snacks, handmade pet treats, and fun activities for the kids. It’s also just steps away from some great shopping and dining.
