The Seaside Commercial District offers a thriving

The Seaside Commercial District offers a thriving town center along County Highway 30A. SEASIDE® is acclaimed worldwide as one of the iconic examples of New Urbanism, with all shopping and dining being within walkable distance of homes, cottages, and offices. The community consists of more than 400 homes, many of them vacation rentals. It offers over 20 restaurants and eateries and over 30 shops, galleries, and services. SEASIDE® provides an ideal environment for businesses looking to cultivate growth, engage with a diverse customer base, and become part of a lively, year-round destination.

We are inviting proposals from forward-thinking and innovative businesses interested in joining our community for upcoming lease opportunities. We are excited to offer businesses (retail and F&B) the chance to secure a coveted spot in a location that draws locals and tourists alike.

We are interested in businesses that:

- Complement the existing tenant mix and do not compete.
- Enhance our offerings to appeal to both locals and tourists.
- Align with SEASIDE®’s emphasis on quality, innovation, and community engagement.

Please follow the link in our bio to submit your proposal.

As we transition into the Fall break season in SEA

As we transition into the Fall break season in SEASIDE®, we want to remind everyone of what makes our community such a unique place – our commitment to family values and the welcoming atmosphere we extend to all who visit. With Fall Break upon us, we recognize that many families choose Seaside as their vacation destination, and we are immensely grateful for that choice.

We wish to reiterate our stance on unaccompanied minors. Seaside is intended to be a place where families come together to create cherished memories, and we need to maintain an environment that reflects this intention.

In preparation for the upcoming season, SEASIDE® hosted several collaborative town hall sessions with neighboring communities, including Rosemary Beach, Alys Beach, WaterColor, and Old Seagrove. These sessions also involved SEASIDE® Town Council, which serves the residential area, the Walton County Sheriff’s Office, and representatives from short-term rental companies. The collective goal was to discuss and implement measures that ensure the safety and enjoyment of all guests and locals.

To ensure the safety and enjoyment of all our guests, SEASIDE® has implemented a 7:00 PM CST curfew for unaccompanied minors, 18 and under, without parental supervision, during Fall Break. The dates of Fall Break curfew are September 23 - October 19.

We kindly request that parents and guardians accompany their children during their visit to Seaside. While we understand the allure of independence, our town is best experienced when families are together, exploring our beautiful beaches, enjoying our locally owned shops and restaurants, and savoring the moments that make family vacations memorable.

As we look ahead to Spring Break, please note that we will also announce specific curfew times and dates to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

We appreciate your cooperation and understanding in maintaining the values that make Seaside a cherished tradition for families near and far. We are excited to continue to foster an environment where every visitor feels welcomed, valued, and safe.
