WaterColor Inn & Resort is one of 30A's most beloved and refined destination wedding properties — a beautifully designed boutique resort nestled within the WaterColor community's coastal dune lakes, native longleaf pine forest, and private Gulf beach. The resort's distinctive New Urbanism architectural character, rooftop bar with sweeping Gulf views, outdoor ceremony spaces among live oaks and magnolias, and access to WaterColor's private beach on emerald Gulf water create a wedding experience that perfectly captures 30A's brand of upscale, effortless coastal living. For destination weddings where the entire weekend matters as much as the day itself, WaterColor's community infrastructure and natural surroundings are ideal.
