The Seaside Repertory Theatre pulls out all the stops each summer to entertain the whole family with a series of free plays scattered around SoWal. This summer is no exception with three highly-entertaining productions for the outdoors.
“Sit Quietly and Smile.” Anyone know what book that quote is from? While very therapeutic, in this fast paced world it is sometimes hard to do and people might look at you funny. But if you sit quietly and smile while watching a great blue heron fish for breakfast you won’t look the least bit odd.
Bam! You can't get more fresh or local than pulling veggies right out of the ground and in to the pan at the new outdoor kitchen at the Seaside Neighborhood School's Corner Garden. Chef Emeril Lagasse was on hand to break in the brand-new burners and grill as part of the school's mentoring program.
Lagasse has a foundation dedicated to helping deserving kids get fed, and helping school kids get a healthy and nutritional meal. One school where he has made his mark increased their grade scores from the 50s to the 80s thanks to better nutrition and parent involvement.

South Walton locals know one of the best ways to kick off Summer is the annual Grayton Beach Kids Fishing Tournament. This year it was a bit cloudy and windy but no one seemed to mind.
Registration was only $5.00 per kid for boys and girls under the age of 15. The tourney is intended to promote responsible use of our marine resources through recreational fishing. Each participant receives a free rod and reel, tackle box, beach rod holder, bait, Pompano rigs and weights. Eighteen gold, silver and bronze medals were awarded!
If you have a wet suit and sandy feet on a warm and sunny beach day, there's nothing like walking up to Pickle's and ordering a juicy burger, fries, and a shake. The Seaside eatery is the scene of so many special SoWal beach memories. Now it's much, much better.
An expanded ArtsQuest was a resounding success as music and art was showcased in Seaside over three days. Stormy weather made way for beautiful blue skies for a Mother's Day surprise! Congratulations to Francisco Adaro who took home the prize for Best In Show.
Well, its that time of year again! "Children of all ages... time to disconnect from your I-pad, I-pod, Xbox, Playstation, PC, DVD, TV and smartphone and CATCH SOME FISH!!!"
The 6th Annual Grayton Beach Kids Fishing Tournament will be held this Saturday, May 12th beginning at 8am sharp!
Reading comments left in rental guest books is a treat. It makes you realize how special it is to be here. People love our wonderful SoWal beaches of course. They talk about the crabs and the birds, and the many simple ways you can spend a day at water's edge.
Continuing a Mother's Day tradition we started last year, here's your chance to win this exclusive bracelet titled, “Moon Glow”. It's a custom-designed freshwater pearl bracelet featuring an iridescent coin pearl, centered between two spherical white pearls, laced and braided with fine hand-rolled leather and finished with a white pearl clasp. Valued at $175, it is the ideal SoWal Beach-inspired gift for your loving mother (or wife, or mother-in-law). This is your chance to score a Wendy Mignot original, and show your mom how much you love her!
The ArtsQuest Fine Arts & Music Festival is a great South Walton Mother's Day tradition. And for the 24th year you can expect to have a great time in Seaside enjoying great art, music, shopping, food, and people watching.
