You can rent bikes and have a great time riding all over the place.
For the record, Hwy 30A (maybe you've seen the blue and yellow 30A stickers on the back of people's SUV's?) is a 25-mile stretch of coastal beach towns between PCB and Destin. Hwy 30A will take you through one beautiful beach community after another. I suggest that you and your wife earmark a day to take a car drive down Hwy 30A, and just enjoy the beautiful ride thru Inlet Beach, Rosemary Beach, Alys Beach, Seaside, Grayton Beach, Blue Mountain Beach, Seagrove, Gulf Place, Dune Allen, and more. Each of these beach communities have their own special culture and unique vibe.
