Seagrove Beach

On this shoreline on the Gulf of Mexico you’ll find a wonderful beachside hamlet and plenty of spots to play and relax. 

Whether you surf, swim or lounge, Seagrove Beach is ideal for enjoyable beach activities. Take a long, barefoot walk from your hotel on warm white sand or stop somewhere, put down a towel and enjoy summer reading. Cool off in mild waters or jump in for a vigorous swim with the waves. Stay out late to see the sunset along a flat horizon.

Seagrove Beach is only 0.5 mile (0.8 kilometres) down the highway from the master-planned community of Seaside. Learn why this community is visited by designers and architects from all over America. Visit the Seaside Chapel, the Merrill, Pastor & Colgan-designed building that has become an iconic image for New Urbanism architecture.

Pursue your favourite health club activities just footsteps from the beach at the Seaside Swim & Tennis Club and Fitness Centre. Bring your doubles partner and play tennis in the crisp seaside air. Finesse your croquet shot on a pristinely manicured lawn.

Seaside offers an enriching array of activities beyond those you’d normally find at the beach. Enjoy a production or concert at the Seaside Repertory Theatre, with its increasingly busy schedule of shows. Dawdle through the smells of fresh produce and local baked goods at the Seaside Farmers Market.

Catering to the upscale clientele who own summer houses in the area, Seagrove Beach restaurants are eclectic and excellent. Savour the citrusy brine of a fresh raw oyster from the morning’s catch. Splurge on steak, cooked to perfection. Enjoy artisanal or classic styles of pizza with nearly every conceivable topping. Pick up gourmet prepared foods for a delicious beachside picnic.

Walking distance from the beach, find plenty of hotels, motels and holiday rentals available year-round. To get here, fly into Northwest Floriday Beahes Airport, rent a car and drive 38 miles (61 kilometres) northwest. Look out the window during the short coastal drive.
