For most folks, beach communities mean mega sunshine and sparkling waters. And yes, you can get your fill of both here. But you can also get so much more in this quaint beach town by the sea. Welcome to a modern-day Victorian town complete with close-knit streets and homes providing a cozy and charming neighborhood feel to it all. It's a pedestrian's dream come true!

Location: Known as the cultural and commercial mecca along Scenic Highway 30-A, at Seaside everything is within walking distance, from shops and services to a post office and a school. Also nearby are the market, a florist, an ice cream shop, boutiques galore-just about anything you need to live the life of leisure and bask in cultural, too.

Historical Highlights: Back in the 70's, Robert Davis inherited property of Seaside. Thus, he and Daryl Davis set out to develop the acre-beach land into a beach town where everything is within convenient walking distance. Plus, their creative image included plenty of cottages with porches to enjoy sunrises and sunsets of the Gulf. The result? The overall award-winning design of Seaside is recognized worldwide. After all, it has combined city life and architecture with the old-time charm of traditional town.

The Community: Today, you can stroll along the side streets and see homes, a charter school, and two new additions-a church and Medical Arts building. You'll see influences of the South and cities of Rome in the town center. Also, shops and restaurants await you in Central Square. And, of course, Ruskin Place, coined after Victorian Art enthusiast John Ruskin, is Seaside's eclectic spot where you can enjoy art galleries and a coffee shop to sip a cup of java while enjoying the wonderful ambiance of a beach town within a city. But that's not all...
While residents savor the architectural delight, visitors pay their compliments, too. Seaside provides an RV court and B&B, as well homes available for rent by the day or week. Not only will you see pedestrians throughout the town, bicyclists are a frequent sight, too, as they enjoy this fine American town. In fact, it's so fine that it was filmed in the movie "The Truman Show."
