Seaside: Bike Ride and other Fun

December 16, 2020 /

I am concluding my Thanksgiving travel posts with a little ride through the town of Seaside. Seaside is a beach town that was created in 1981. It’s appeal is very visual with its colorful pastel cottages, a town square accross the beach, pretty shops, and parks. The Truman Show movie featuring Jim Carrey was filmed here. We rode our bikes through the neighborhoods, the children played on the playground hidden near the tennis courts and I browsed in the shops.

I love how most of the houses have little signs letting you know where the owners are from. The cottages are mostly large and while having similarities are very different from each other.

Trying to take pictures while riding a bike can be very tricky: I was not very successful and had to stop after some near wipe outs.

I like that most of these have a little courtyard or patio.

We enjoyed some icecream and stayed away from the hustle and bustle. It was busier than I expected.

The town was decorated for the holidays of course.

I always love seeing different Christmas trees which reminds me that I need to take some pictures downtown here wher the tree is!

We discovered the playground hidden in the neighborhood years ago so that we always try to make it back for a little fun!

I really wanted to go back by myself to take more time shopping but I only had the opportunity once and I am so happy I picked up this cute little camo crossbody/clutch. It was perfect for riding the bikes and I used it at home the first week we go back. It will be in my purse rotation all year long!

If you have the opportunity to visit in the area, by all means plan to spend a day along 30A. It is a short drive from Destin as well as Panama City beach. You will not regret it!

A bientôt!
