The town rose to global fame as being the main filming location of the movie The Truman Show. On April 18, 2012, the American Institute of Architects's Florida Chapter placed the community on its list of Florida Architecture: 100 Years. 100 Places as the Seaside – New Urbanism Township.

Excellent customer service. We were purchasing only small items and were given as much attention as though we'd purchased a high value item. Lovely shop for browsing or buying.

We booked this activity online just two days in advance and it turned out to be a great experience for the entire family! We had a multigenerational group with two sets of grand parents, two kids (11 and 7) and my husband and me. The kids were absolutely ecstatic at the idea of being able to build a 3.5 feet professional-looking castle by themselves. Our coach Anna was amazing and she did most of the hard work for our group. She was also very engaging and kept the kids engaged with numerous smaller project ideas. The grandparents also enjoyed participating in the activity and Anna was flexible enough to increase our group size from 5 to 8 the day of the activity! Overall, I would highly recommend this unique and fun activity for any family!!

The weather was fine and warm for early March but the wind was on shore so no swimming along the beautiful beach. Sadly we chose the first day of school spring break and the place was very busy around the beach area. However if you walk away from the beach, inland, the houses are older and have character.

The Seaside Farmers Market was open on Saturday morning and had an awesome assortment of vendors; crab cakes, meat farms, vegetables, pastries, oils, exotic foods, and such. It was small but the individual booths were interesting to stroll through and sample. Most Farmers Markets are larger, but, a large majority of the vendors are all the same. Don’t let the size of this market fool you from stopping by!
