    Seahaven — The Truman ShowFilm & TV LocationsWorth it

    Seaside was built in the 1980s as an experiment in walkable town-making, and it came out so uncannily perfect that Peter Weir filmed The Truman Show here without building a set. Truman's house is on Natchez Street. Eat from the Airstream food trucks on 30A, walk to the beach pavilions, and enjoy the very slight feeling of being watched.

    The rest of 30A and then US-98 along the Emerald Coast — the sand out here is pure quartz washed down from the Appalachians, which is why it's white and squeaks underfoot.
