Like most of the communities in South Walton, Seaside is a relatively newer neighborhood. However, this beach town still has that classic coastal southern charm everyone loves. Seaside is built around a town center, and every home in town is located no more than a five-minute walk away from it. Even the color scheme throughout the town was carefully designed by the master architect, Robert Davis. The homes closer to the Gulf of Mexico are lighter pastel colors, while the homes further north are brighter and more saturated. In fact, the town looks so charming that the blockbuster hit, "The Truman Show" was filmed there.
Gorgeous Beach
