tell me about Seagrove Beach

Last year one of my friends asked me about her daughter and some sorority sisters at Georgia Tech renting at Beachwood Villas where the crossover to the beach is right at Tom Thumb. I told her as long as the girls were very careful about crossing at Tom Thumb, it would be fine. I think that if you have a rental where the crossover is at that intersection, the ethical thing to do is to warn your guests to be careful at that intersection. In the case to which I refer, it didn't deprive anyone at Beachwood of a rental. And the girls will be back because they liked it there -- great location for the price.

BTW hubby and I always stop for pedestrians trying to cross Highway 30-A. It's somewhat of a mantra for us.

OOPS! I forgot the Taco Bar at Seaside. That's some great fast food! Good for lunch, dinner, a snack, or drinks. By "or" I mean the "inclusive or."

You didn't forget, Seaside isn't Seagrove. ;-)

My daughters insist on having access to a pool during the summer because for them it is the best way to cool off.

The issue with the pool that I have discovered is that parents go on vacation too. What I mean by this is that with a pool right at the house the parents can relax in the morning and enjoy their breakfast and the kids can go play in the pool. Even though I don't have kids, I have a neice and have experienced plenty of 6 o'clock mornings thinking it was an Earthquake when she was jumping on the bed ready to go to the beach. Seriously, 4 years old and she was in bathing suit and covered in suntan lotion. Of course she still can't tie her shoes. :roll:

Seaside and Seagrove are contiguous. So they are zero miles apart. And actually Watercolor used to advertise itself as being in Seagrove. So the question is, where does Seagrove start and end? My point is that Seagrove is so centrally located on 30-A that it is convenient to all of the previously mentioned commercial developments.

All areas in SoWal are beautiful but I am biased toward Blue Mt. Beach. Once again, may I suggest you research Bella Vita, Adagio and Sea Bluff. All have pools and access to the beach. Rentals at Sea Bluff are very reasonable, comparatively speaking. It is a much better area IMO but as I said I'm biased.

Follow the big blue signs. :funn:

Seriously though I would consider Seagrove from just East of Seaside all the way to the Western Edge of WaterSound.

Hey, don't follow the big blue sign that you see when driving south on 395 just before 30-A. You'd crash into the house at that intersection because it says that Seagrove is straight ahead.

I think you're right on the east/west boundaries of Seagrove.

This one still boggles my mind since I consider Seagrove to run North to Suzanne Drive. The funny thing is that you are "in" Seagrove and the "way finding signs" are still directing you South to someone's living room. :funn:

Glad you are coming to our area. Exactly where Seagrove is located can be debated. It is on 30A and I think near latitude 30. Walton County only has three incorporated cities, all north of the bay. They are DeFuniak Springs, Freeport and Paxton. Our communities in SoWal have somewhat fuzzy borders. Some have old plats that could be considered a basis for their borders. The newer resorts have plats that indicate their borders.
