If you’ve seen Jim Carrey’s The Truman Show, you might recognize this beach with its pastel-colored houses and white picket fences. These adorable attributes are what gives Sea-side its charmingly quaint vibe. The car-less brick-paved pedestrian streets are a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of nearby Panama City and Destin.  Among its many accolades, Seaside was named “The Best Beach on Earth” for families by Travel + Leisure. There is a thriving Town Center with great shopping and dining when the beach day is over.
