Seaside, the grand daddy of 30A, a community of narrow shaded streets, white picket fences, and colorful victorian homes. Founded by Robert Davis on land that he had inherited from his grandfather, Seaside is often cited as the first New Urbanist development. The movie "The Truman Show", was filmed here. Seaside owners have a private beach accesses, private swimming pools, and quiet streets for strolling the unique Seaside architecture. Seaside's walkable downtown contains a market, a post office, a coffee house, art galleries, restaurants, ice cream shops, and quaint boutiques

Seagrove Beach roots go back to the 1940s and 1950s families used it as an escape from the heat. Cooled by the constant gulf breezes families spent lazy summers in cozy single-story cottages. Today, the modest cottages have welcomed luxurious beach homes and condominiums. Seagrove Beach is now known for its variety of great restaurants. Seagrove Beach is a popular location for biking and kayak rentals, with several shops available to enjoy the 18-mile 30A bike path and tranquil gulf waters.
