While US 98/SR 30 spans the length of Point Washington State Forest, CR 30A doesn't avoid it completely: the westernmost mile forms the boundary between the state forest and Topsail Hill Preserve State Park, and along, the Gulf of Mexico, CR 30A cuts through approximately three miles of state forest between Blue Mountain Beach and Seaside... and another 3 miles of Deer Lake State Park to the southeast of Seagrove Beach.
