Seaside
A colorful wooden-house town built on New Urbanism planning principles. It was the filming location of The Truman Show and is the star town along 30A.
Seaside was built in the 1980s as a model of the American New Urbanism movement. It features pastel wooden houses, white picket fences, walkable streets and beach pavilions of varied designs. The 1998 film The Truman Show was shot here. The town center has Airstream Row, a row of food trailers, the independent bookstore Sundog Books and a small beach chapel. Watching the sunset from a pavilion in the evening is a classic activity. Parking in town is very hard, so ride a bike along 30A or walk in.
