We are aware of a series of incidents that occurre

We are aware of a series of incidents that occurred last night in Central Square and downtown Seaside. A video circulating on social media shows one of the incidents, in which a firework was set off amongst a large gathering of teenagers.

After a discussion with the @wcsofl, we have agreed that the best strategy to prevent any further disturbances and ensure the safety of our guests and staff is to enact a 6 PM curfew beginning tonight through Saturday, July 6th. This curfew will be for all unaccompanied minors not accompanied by a parent.

Our number one goal, shared by our law enforcement partners at the WCSO, is to ensure the safety of all who step foot on our property. We want to make sure that we can all safely celebrate the 4th of July holiday, one of the biggest weeks of the year for our community.

As we did during Spring Break this year, we are pleading with parents to be accountable for their teenage children. We do not view these crowds as anything other than groups of children and young adults who could be potentially put in harm’s way because of careless and reckless behavior by a few individuals. In order for us to successfully implement this curfew and break up this mob mentality, we are asking parents to locate and gather their children by 6 PM.

This is a last resort and not a decision we make lightly. We greatly appreciate everyone’s cooperation, including our Merchants, staff, guests, and the Walton County Sheriff’s Office. #ComeGetYourKids

Then, as the sun sets into the Gulf, @sinfoniagulfcoast will take the stage for a patriotic performance with our dazzling fireworks display taking place at 8:30 p.m. over the Gulf. See you there? 🇺🇸 #SeasideFL #FourthOfJuly

One of our favorite traditions is paella night in #SeasideFL! 🥘

Join our friends at @the87central every Tuesday and Thursday evening for Chef Joyce’s famous paella. ⁠She learned her recipe while in Spain, which she has continued to tweak over the years to bring some panhandle flair. Her use of chorizo instead of plain sausage adds a little extra spice kick, so this dish is not for the faint of heart! Orders are taken starting at 5:30 PM and paella is ready around 7:00 PM.

Welcome to #SeasideFL, a town designed around the

Welcome to #SeasideFL, a town designed around the concept of New Urbanism. What does this mean? Embracing New Urbanism is adopting a mindset that focuses on community, sustainability, and accessibility.

The town is residential, commercial, and recreational, all in the same area. By fostering mixed-use development, we aim to create a vibrant community for all to enjoy. We love to welcome new friends and guests every day. Please be courteous to those around you and understand that the town is also our home.

Seaside is designed with walkability in mind. Central Square is the hub with ample space and grass to enjoy. Experience our curated shops, restaurants, events, and Gulf views. Wander paths throughout town, stroll the tree-lined streets, and discover our unique design on foot. The details may be simple, but the story is intricate.

New Urbanism also champions biking and walking as much as possible. We are connected to the communities around us and encourage you to embrace this aspect by taking a slower pace to discover the social and scenic sides of our town. We so appreciate your love and support of our beloved home. And in case we don’t see you, good afternoon, good evening and goodnight.

Our talented vendors and team ensure every detail is flawlessly executed with exceptional cuisine, delightful cocktails, and a personalized touch of coastal elegance that will leave you and your guests in awe. #SeasideFL #SeasideFLWedding
