Beaches, Bicycles & Seaside Florida

Scenic Highway 30A is a 20 mile beach road between Destin, Florida and Panama City.  You don’t see the expected high rise buildings along the beach, but a series of planned architectural communities, each with it’s own unique set of characteristics. We will first be exploring “Seaside”, where The Truman Show starring Jim Carrey was filmed. There are so many things to do in this quaint little town. You can watch an outdoor movie in the amphitheater, enjoy a live concert, rent a bike to stroll from town to town, and so much more. Click here for a map of Seaside.

There are many cottages to rent or buy, and they have the cutest, creative names. Perhaps you would want to stay at Teachers Lounge, Goodnight Moon, License to Chill, Cork the Whine, Sea Ya, or Four the Girls (a 4 BR delight).

Any time I go to a new city I’m always on the lookout for great design shops, and Pizitz Home & Cottage was on my list. I couldn’t pass up the recently published 30A Style Book, which I’ll be sharing pictures from later in the week.

Can you hear the waves? I definitely don’t want to go home after visiting this wonderful space.

Along with the new coffee table book purchase, I was able to find a mother’s day goodie – a candle from Votivo – Seablue Sky. It’s a wonderful “beach scent”, not too floral, but fresh and perfect for spring!

Join me tomorrow for architectural beauties (homes) found in Rosemary Beach. You won’t be sorry!
