Football at the Beach
The NFL football season kicks off in just a couple of (weeks/days) and we at Radiant couldn’t be more excited. Radiant Resort Properties Founders not only work to ensure properties are properly cared for and ready for each new guest, we have a passion for fantasy football. In fact, founder David Olivarez has written for fantasy football websites and participated in a number of podcasts that have included a number of knowledgeable football analysts. That means if there is a NFL game being played we are watching it! So for our football fans visiting the beaches of South Walton this Fall we have pulled together a guide for how to best enjoy your desired game.
Although there are plenty of amazing restaurants to choose from when vacationing along 30A, sports bars are a little harder to come by. If going out to grab food and watch football is on the agenda here are Radiant’s top picks for having the best view of the action.
A 30A destination location for more than 20 years, Shades Bar & Grill continues to turn friends into family! With daily chef features, famous wings, classic spirits and a fabulous staff, Shades is the place to meet and eat on 30A.

Home of the 102 foot bar including 32 beers on draft. Some of our specialties include little neck clams, freshly shucked raw oysters, New England style clam chowder and jumbo shrimp cocktail! Austons features big screen TVs throughout the restaurant which will ensure you don’t miss out on any of the incredible plays each Sunday.

If you prefer to be at home watching the game, but don’t want to miss any of the action while cooking we get it! Some of our favorites for gameday chow include:
Pizza is always a go-to for munching on during a NFL Football Sunday! Lost pizza has some of the best signature pizza options in Miramar Beach. Order a thin crust and you won’t be disappointed.
