There is no better or easier way to see the 30A Beaches than from the air with a helicopter tour.  Panhandle Helicopter offers a number of tours of the area. They include a shark run (might want to do this one after you are done swimming and paddle boarding in the gulf for your trip), a Seaside Tour which takes you from Panama City Beach west up the coast along 30A to Seaside and a number of other tours.  Their website has a list of tours and information on how to get in touch with them to reserve one for your vacation.  Their website is:  http://www.panhandlehelicopter.com/helicopter-tours or you can call them at 850-230-2080.  In the mean time check out this video from one of their tours and dont forgot to take a camera or Go Pro with you!
