Bike rides to the beach, afternoons in the sand, ice cream runs after dinner, and the kind of days that unfold slowly, together. It’s in the simple moments that the best memories are made. Year after year, families return to relive them and create new ones along the way. 💙 #SeasideFL

What began as a simple Farmers Market stand servin

What began as a simple Farmers Market stand serving gyros, hummus, and fresh Mediterranean favorites grew into a beloved SEASIDE® success story. For more than a decade, Olga and Burak Akkan built their business one loyal customer at a time, sharing healthy, flavorful recipes and warm hospitality each Saturday morning. Encouraged by their community, they eventually moved to our Airstream Row, where their thriving business continues, rooted in the same passion and connection that began at the market.

Join us every Saturday in April from 9 AM to 1 PM and stroll through a vibrant selection of local vendors offering fresh produce, baked goods, and more. #SeasideFL

A sweet tradition, right where it’s always been.

A sweet tradition, right where it’s always been.🍦

In 1983, Bill and Heavenly Dawson bought a home in SEASIDE® and soon after opened Dawson’s Yogurt, one of the town’s very first businesses. Since 1988, Dawson’s Yogurt & Fudge has been serving sweet treats from the very same spot, making it the country’s longest-operating yogurt shop still in its original location.

Over the years, it’s become part of our ritual, an after-dinner stop, a post-beach treat, a cone in hand while strolling through town. Though the shop debuted a refreshed façade and updated interior last year, the tradition remains the same: satisfying SEASIDE®’s sweet tooth, one swirl at a time.

After 32 years, the Dawsons passed the torch of the five eateries they founded to the Beechers and the Fields, but their legacy still lives on in every visit. ❤️ #SeasideFL

Color returns, laughter carries down the streets, and the rhythm of the season settles in. #SeasideFL

40 years of sunsets, stories, and gathering at @budandalleys.

Opened by Dave Rauschkolb and Scott Witcoski in Seaside’s early days, Bud & Alley’s was named after two beloved companions, Robert and Daryl’s dog, Bud, and Scott’s cat, Alley. From the very beginning, it was more than a restaurant, it was a place to come together.

For four decades, friends and families have climbed the stairs to toast the sunset, linger over dinner, and mark life’s milestones overlooking the best gulf view in town. A true pillar of our community, Bud & Alley’s has helped define the rhythm of SEASIDE®, one evening, one table, one unforgettable view at a time. #SeasideFL

Where Polynesian spirit and Gulf Coast flavor come alive through Chef Nikhil Abuvala’s vision.

Inspired by his passion for the cuisine and culture of the more than 1,000 islands of Polynesia, Chef Abuvala brings a Pacific-meets-Gulf perspective to The Daytrader, artfully reimagining coastal classics with locally sourced ingredients and unexpected twists.

Rooted in escapism with a playful anti-corporate edge, every dish invites you to unwind, indulge, and stay awhile. #SeasideFL

Today we celebrate the women whose vision and leadership continue to shape our world. We’re especially grateful for SEASIDE® co-founder Daryl Rose Davis, whose creative spirit and enduring dedication have helped shape the heart and character of this town.

In the beginning days of SEASIDE®, founders Rober

In the beginning days of SEASIDE®, founders Robert and Daryl Davis began to grow the farmers market with a handful of folding tables and handwritten signs. Old and new friends gathered each weekend to offer homegrown goods, handmade wares, and friendly conversation, inviting passersby to pause, wander, and discover the town. Long before it became a tradition, the market was a simple act of welcome, rooted in relationships and the belief that community is built one small interaction at a time.

Join us every Saturday in March from 9 AM to 1 PM and stroll through a vibrant selection of local vendors offering fresh produce, baked goods, and more. #SeasideFL #45YearsOfSeaside

Blue skies, white sand, and nowhere else to be. 🌊 #SeasideFL

From the archives. In the early days of SEASIDE®,

From the archives. In the early days of SEASIDE®, there was little more than sand, sketches, and a vision for a place where front porches mattered, neighbors knew one another, and life unfolded at a walkable pace. It took dreamers to imagine it and doers to bring it to life.

This month, we’re celebrating the founders who took a chance, the early believers who grew alongside it, and the thoughtful vision that shaped every street, green space, and gathering spot. What began as an idea has become a living, breathing community and is still guided by those same principles of connection, beauty, and intention.

The story of SEASIDE® isn’t just about how it started. It’s about how that original vision continues to shape each new season. #SeasideFL #45YearsOfSeaside

Since 1989, Modica Market has been part of the eve

Since 1989, Modica Market has been part of the everyday rhythm of SEASIDE®. Opened by Charles Modica Sr. in the town’s early days, it quickly became more than just a neighborhood market, it became a gathering place.

This quaint gourmet grocery grew into a SEASIDE® staple, known for fresh, homemade Southern specialties, carefully selected wines, craft beers, and shelves lined with thoughtful finds. Whether you’re picking up breakfast before a bike ride, lunch for the beach, or a bottle of wine for dinner on the porch, Modica has always been part of the plan.

Today, the legacy continues with Charles Modica Jr. and Carmel Modica, who carry on their father’s commitment to quality, hospitality, and genuine relationships. For generations of families, Modica Market has been a familiar face, a friendly hello, and a reminder that community is built one conversation at a time. 💙 #SeasideFL

For generations, love stories have unfolded here.
