The retort vacation village served as the <strong>filming location for The Truman Show<\/strong> in 1998. We still remember Truman Burbank&#8217;s, aka Jim Carrey&#8217;s, unforgettable morning line: \u201cGood morning. Oh, and if we don&#8217;t see each other again, good afternoon, good evening and good night!\u201d    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And the whole place, which lies between Panama City Beach and Destin, is just as friendly as this sentence. It still has the <strong>charm of the movie set<\/strong>, only the trees and bushes have grown accordingly and sometimes block the occasional view of the lovely houses. What is portrayed in the movie as an unbearable small-town idyll once became known as Florida&#8217;s first planned community. In 1981, architects had the place built according to a \u201cNew Urbanism\u201d model.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seaside as a vacation village<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div

Seaside is more of a <strong>vacation village<\/strong>, consisting of summer houses for the wealthier people of the south. While it is quite crowded in the season, the place can seem deserted in the off-season. Here you are often the only person on the street on an evening stroll and can let yourself be carried away by the Hollywood feeling.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of the more than 300 houses are available to rent. Many of them are located directly on the white sandy beach. There are many nice restaurants and shops on the beach promenade and <strong>Central Square<\/strong>. Behind white fences are pastel-colored, lovely wooden houses with verandas and lovely gardens. The many cycle paths still bear witness to the American idea of not always having to travel by car.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-boldblocks-youtube-block aligncenter\"><div id=\"yb-video-Avoe_Qm1-LM\" class=\"yb-player\" data-video-id=\"Avoe_Qm1-LM\" data-title=\"Play\" style=\"background-image:url(https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/Avoe_Qm1-LM\/hqdefault.jpg)\"><button type=\"button\" class=\"yb-btn-play\"><span class=\"visually-hidden\">Play<\/span><\/button><\/div><figcaption class=\"yb-caption\">A bird&#8217;s eye view of Seaside<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Information &amp; route planner Seaside<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-34bea7b5 alignfull uagb-is-root-container\"><div class=\"uagb-container-inner-blocks-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-0e4c0f58\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-regular\" style=\"margin-right:0;margin-left:0\"><table><tbody><tr><td>Opening hours<\/td><td>24\/7<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Highlights<\/td><td>New Urbanism style, beach, Farmes Market<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Children<\/td><td>\u2705 with playgrounds and events<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Parking<\/td><td>\u2705 with costs<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uagb-block-7a8edfee\"><style>.kb-google-maps-container22120_4c860b-16{max-width:611px;height:300px;margin-left:auto !important;margin-right:auto !important;}<\/style><div class=\"kb-google-maps-container kb-google-maps-container22120_4c860b-16 wp-block-kadence-googlemaps\" data-mapid=\"22120_4c860b16\"><iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"border:0\" loading=\"lazy\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed\/v1\/place?key=AIzaSyBAM2o7PiQqwk15LC1XRH2e_KJ-jUa7KYk&#038;zoom=13&#038;maptype=roadmap&#038;q=Highway+30A%2C+Seaside%2C+FL+32459%2C+USA\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Google map of Highway 30A, Seaside, FL 32459, USA\"><\/iframe><\/div><script>function kb_google_map22120_4c860b16() { let center = { lat: 37.8201, lng: -122.4781}; let map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById(\"kb-google-map22120_4c860b16\"), {\n\t\t\t\t\t    zoom: 13,\n\t\t\t\t\t    center: center,});let marker = new google.maps.Marker({   position: { lat: 37.8201, lng: -122.4781},    map: map,  });}<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-container uag-hide-desktop uag-hide-tab uagb-block-ea8eaf47\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-info-box uagb-block-13d6f55e uagb-infobox__content-wrap  uagb-infobox-icon-above-title uagb-infobox-image-valign-top\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-content\"><div class=\"uagb-ifb-image-content\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.florida-scout.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/Florido-Panama-City-Beach.jpg\" alt=\"Florido Panama City Beach\" width=\"400\" height=\"405\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/div><div class=\"uagb-ifb-title-wrap\"><p class=\"uagb-ifb-title\">Your guide to Panama City Beach<\/p><\/div><p class=\"uagb-ifb-desc\">All the highlights, tips and information about Panama City Beach at a glance!
