For whatever this may be worth, this weekend is the annual Seaside Homeowners Weekend. Saturday, the SWCC's Family Fun Day (one part of their annual Back to Nature Festival) will be held in the Seaside amphitheater.

Just don't drive down Tupelo St.

Tupelo woman
I come there every spring/fall with my sisters, aunt, cousin, daughter and we were just there and my sister caught wind of this on this website. Of course, we laughed, life is way too short, how can you be in a bad mood when you are down hanging on 30A. It did make us want to come down and park nearby and walk down Tupelo and hope we would see so we could maybe change her mind about what is important in life. Ultimately we bypassed Tupelo Street and went into Seaside and had a great dinner and great wine. Tupelo Street woman didn't matter after all.

Down for a few days last week. Walked in an out from our home in Seagrove, rode our bikes in and am happy to report no incidents. I have to admit, I was a bit disappointed, I was hoping to have something more exciting to report.

OMG. I'm so glad that I do not live on 30A anymore. But I know next time I'm running over there...where I will go

Seaside Security can have you leave at anytime for any reason. All the pavilions at each street is private and owned by the home owners on each street. And should be used by owners and guest only. The home owners have to pay for the upkeep and maint of each pavilion. the only open pavilions are the ones near Bud and Allys. one is the tall white one and the one behind The Shrimp Shack. Oh and the lady is on the HOA board. You can go into Seaside and ride or walk around and have a good day just stay off the private areas thats all.
needs to get out more
nice entry.

I have the same problem near my house. There's a defunct subdivision and sandy road that connects Hilltop to Allen Loop. Very nice short cut for my bike when the sandy road isn't too dry. Well part of the sandy road is private, has one house on it. Jimmy Crawford has stopped me a couple of times and told me I could not ride my bike on the road, he doesn't live on the road but claims to have permission to use and patrol it.
Verified that part of the road is private with the property appraiser's office, so much for walkable-bikable communities.

Its turtle patrol
But I hear that they are going back to the SWAT type pants and shirts. ?? You know. Like before.
The new Security Director, "Roxanne" is a short woman with spike hair and men’s shoes from New Orleans.
A 20-year cop. By the way if you ever need her the # is 850 259-1244 or 231-5057

"just stay off the private areas thats all" - according to you and Seaside, all of Seaside is private property. That's the whole rub. The HOA doesn't want outsiders and yet they want their merchants to survive, and they want rents and property values to be high. You can't have it both ways. Something's got to give. The overall driving force of Seaside is rental and sales income. If you are exclusionary, income will go down. You are risking killing the golden goose. Apparently the members of the HOA think the reputation of Seaside will keep people renting and buying there, so they can therefore act like ogres. I hate to insult every owner, but if you allow the controlling members of the HOA to represent you, then every single member is at fault.
It really boils down to a simple question - do Seaside owners and management want to continue to be good neighbors and part of the heart of our community, or do they want to send customers, potential homeowners, and renters elsewhere?
Seaside can be a shining example of a special place where memories are made and dreams come true, or not.

Ah, but that is not the perception to the average person, and therein lies the problem.
These two entities should be in harmony and working together for the betterment of all, aspire to higher ideals. They need each other but maybe some egos are getting in the way. they need to be fired. I think it is all on the HOA side because the merchants of course have to be nice to the public. The merchant assoc. does a good job of trying to share Seaside with the public.

Wow! These people are unbelievable. Like I have said before, I wouldn't want them as my neighbors.. People will become aware of this situation and it will start to impact the businesses in the area, how sad.

So what about all of the out of town tourist who come in during the summer (or any other time for that matter) and stay in Seaside?? They are not residence, they don't live there.
