An outdoor amphitheatre. A nationally acclaimed fine arts festival. A local repertory troupe. When it comes to pairing beauty and the beach, the folks in Seaside have, well… made an art of it.
Of course, that’s exactly what you’d expect from a town that wrote the book on New Urbanism, and where the picture-perfect pastel homes and picket fences lit up the big screen in The Truman Show. But there’s more to Seaside than its design. It’s a beach neighborhood with a profound sense of community, a family-friendly feel, and a whimsical sense of fun that will permeate your entire visit.
