SEASIDE® Curfew: September 21 - October 18

 

Our Curfew

To ensure the safety and enjoyment of all our guests, SEASIDE® will enforce an 8:00 PM CST curfew for unaccompanied minors, under 18, without parental supervision, starting Monday, September 21, through Sunday, October 18th.

 

We appreciate your cooperation in maintaining the values that make Seaside a beloved tradition for families near and far. Thank you for helping us foster a safe, welcoming environment for all, and we look forward to another wonderful holiday in SEASIDE.

We kindly ask that parents and guardians accompany their children and teens during their visit. While we understand the excitement of independence, SEASIDE® is best experienced as a family, exploring our beautiful beaches, enjoying our locally owned shops and restaurants, and making memories that last a lifetime.

 

We are proud to offer a full schedule of family-friendly events and entertainment designed to encourage safe, engaging, and community-oriented experiences throughout the week. View Event Calendar Here
