Happy travels! 🌊🌞📚
Looking to wow your guests at your next bonfire, soirée, dinner party, or birthday or bachelorette bash? Elevate your dessert game with an ice cream sundae bar! Ice cream parties aren’t just for summer—our creative sundae bar ideas and tips will help you craft a stunning dessert experience all year round. And if you’d rather skip the shopping and setup, 30A Beach Girls is thrilled to handle it all for you! Your family and friends will have a blast customizing their own sundaes with a variety of delicious toppings.
10 Tips for Creating the Perfect Ice Cream Sundae Bar
- Selecting the Right Ice Cream Flavors
- The foundation of any great sundae is, of course, the ice cream. Stick to classic flavors like vanilla and chocolate to please everyone. Opt for high-quality ingredients to make every scoop truly special.
- Pre-Scoop Your Ice Cream
- Save yourself the mess and hassle during the party by pre-scooping your ice cream. Form 2-ounce scoops and place them on a wax paper-lined tray. Freeze until ready to serve. Need a lot? Stack the scoops with layers of wax paper in between.
- Avoid Bowl Dilemmas
- Choose bowls that are just the right size for sundaes—not too small and not too large. We recommend using 8-ounce cups that fit two scoops of ice cream and a generous amount of toppings.
- Add Chunks of Baked Goods
- Elevate your sundae bar with delicious chunks of homemade brownies, chocolate chip cookies, edible cookie dough, or even red velvet cake and cheesecake chunks. These add an extra layer of indulgence!
- Make It a Saucy Sundae
- Sauces are a must-have for any sundae bar. Offer a variety, like rich chocolate sauce and golden salted caramel. Keep them warm in a crockpot to ensure they’re always at the perfect drizzle temperature.
- Go Nutty with Toppings
- Add some crunch with chopped almonds, peanuts, or even candied pecans. If nut allergies are a concern, caramel corn provides a great salty-sweet crunch.
- Don’t Forget the Fruit
- Fresh fruit is essential. Local raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, and bananas are perfect additions. And of course, don’t forget the cherry on top!
- Chocolate, Chocolate, and More Chocolate
- For true chocolate lovers, make your sundae bar a chocolate extravaganza. Add multiple chocolate options to satisfy every craving.
- Load on the Extra Toppings
- Get creative with toppings like toasted coconut, candy pieces, gummies, marshmallows, and cereal. Use decorative bowls and label the options to make it easy for everyone to choose their favorites.
- Whip It Up Fresh and sprinkles!
- Every sundae deserves a dollop of whipped cream. Homemade whipped cream is simple to make and far superior to store-bought varieties. Sprinkles are the perfect way to add a pop of color and fun to your sundaes. With so many shapes and colors available, you can really get creative!
Woohoo! With these tips, you’re all set to host an extraordinary ice cream sundae party. And remember, if you want to make it even easier, 30A Beach Girls is always delighted to help set up a memorable event for you. Enjoy the ultimate sundae experience!

We are not exaggerating when we tell you that the 30A landscape (and seascape!) is quite possibly one of the most beautiful ones in the world, offering sugar white sands created from quartz that has eroded to the finest crystals over thousands of years, turquoise waters so clear it is easy to watch its denizens going about their daily business, and a verdant countryside so lush and serene visitors often wish they could call this section of Florida their home. But there’s more to the scenery than beaches and palm trees. There are historic coastal dune lakes that have been around for tens of thousands of years, there are charming neighborhoods that, while they could never blend into the background, complement the beauty of their surroundings, and beautiful nature preserves where flora and fauna coexist peacefully in the safest of environments. A visit to Florida offers an opportunity to play outside as often as possible, only coming in at the end of each day to enjoy the comforts a 30A Beach Girls sanctuary can bring, and this guide to all the fun you can have during your play will help you fill every minute of your 30A vacation in paradise!
A Walk Through Paradise
There are varying levels of walking, from a simple stroll along the beach at sunrise or sunset to a hike along the trails that lead guests through the parks and recreation areas that dot the landscape. Start every day with the stroll that will bring you peace, letting the serenity of the sea seep into your bones as the sky scrolls through a kaleidoscope of colors and the waters crash against the sugar white sands or, for those non-morning people amongst our guests, save this same delight for the evenings. A Florida sunset has been known to draw applause, stopping people in their tracks and leaving them mesmerized by the show in the sky, and ending your stroll on the beach with that high note will bring you memories you will cherish forever.
Time for the Hiking Shoes
If you really want to get out and enjoy the landscape, however, a hike along the trails is destined to be your favorite way to do so! There are over 15 miles of hiking trails to explore in Topsail Hill Preserve State Park, including the No Name Trail that leads hikers to the idyllic beauty of the smallest coastal dune lake in the park, the No Name Lake! The coastal dune lakes are a rare natural phenomenon appearing in only four countries, with Florida offering up a whopping 15 of these bodies of water. The No Name Trail is a short one, but is filled with natural experiences, including possible alligator sightings, that you will want to document, so don’t forget to include a camera in your list of hiking necessities!
Under the Sea
The world under the sea is a fascinating one that you will definitely want to explore closely, and snorkeling and scuba diving are two of our favorite ways to watch and learn. Snorkeling needs very little training and even less equipment, so it is often the most popular way to examine life underwater and can be done pretty much anywhere, including the aforementioned Topsail Hill Preserve State Park around Seahorse Reef. Many local companies (Dive 30A in Santa Rosa Beach is a popular one) offer snorkeling tours, so if you don’t feel comfortable trying it by yourself, be sure to check out what’s available out there. Scuba diving is a sport that requires more training, but if you have your certification and want to check out something really cool, the Underwater Museum of Art, located less than a mile off the shore of Grayton Beach, is something you really should explore! Every year artists submit works of art that are designed to be a permanent part under the sea and become home to many of the sea’s creatures, ensuring your explorations will be unlike anything you have ever seen before.
At Home with 30A Beach Girls
As comfortable as our Florida escapes are, you will also be able to find plenty to do outside them during your stay! Beachfront properties, of course, offer all the beachy fun you desire, including fishing, swimming, jet skiing, and all-around frolicking and during March, April, and part of May, 30A Beach Girls is offering free beach bonfires which just may be our most favorite outdoor activity of all! Our condos provide access to community amenities which can include resort style pools, hot tubs, barbecue grills, and even the use of bicycles for exploring the communities around the condo you chose. Reserve your favorite sanctuary today and discover how much the right vacation home can make your Florida getaway shine even brighter!
Are you thinking about getting away to send 2022 into the rear view and to say “Hello” to 2023, but don’t know where it could be? Look no further than right here on 30A. It’s truly paradise, especially this time of year. Everything is so nice you almost want to keep it to yourself. The weather is perfect, the sunsets are stunning, the crowds are gone and there’s still so much to do. Even though things are quieter this time of year, there’s still lots to do. For New Year’s Eve Celebration, or in Rosemary at Pescado, and Seagrove at the Old Florida Fish House. Or if you want to drive a short distance to Panama City Beach, you can watch the ball drop at Pier Park. After a great evening celebrating with friends and family, maybe you want to start the new year off with a plunge..in the Gulf. There’s a Turtle Plunge at Henderson Beach State Park and Polar Plunge at Ed Walline Beach in Gulf Place. Sounds Exhilarating! Don’t miss out on one last chance to say adieu to 2022. Give us a call and book your end of the year getaway on 30A! 850-849-7455
