If you need it, or don't need it but gotta have it, then check out the annual Seaside Community Yard Sale every February at the central square in the Seaside Amphitheater.
It's become one of the most popular events in SoWal with tons of locals, snowbirds, weekend visitors, and professional and local vendors.
Just like 30A Radio which plays the jams during the event, you never know what you're gonna get, see, hear, buy . . .
