Seaside is excited to announce the beginning of a new Post Office Plaza. It is part of the vision of Seaside founders, Robert and Daryl Davis.

“The plaza is the first project leading to the future construction of the Krier Tower,” said George Calvi, Seaside Director of Development, “and should take about six months to complete.”

Located at the southern end of Seaside Avenue, the plaza will house the Seaside Post Office as well as seven new public restrooms and additional bike parking.

“This is the first time I’ve had good bread in America in 30 years,” Delphine Debono matter-of- factly announced in her French accent as she made her way to the front door of Black Bear Bread Company located in a charming white cottage at Shops of Grayton. 

Every morning in Grayton Beach at Hibiscus Café is special but Sundays are off the chart!

The Café opens as usual at 7:30 a.m., but the real fun starts with the Hibiscus Backyard of Love Funday Sunday Brunch charity events from 10 to 1. The regular Café menu is expanded to include wine and a mimosa bar with live music underneath the beautiful oaks. 

It was a sad day for many SoWal folks back in 2015 when the old Seagrove Village Market Café  was torn down.

But thanks to owners George and Ann Hartley, the “new and improved” café re-opened last year (November 2016) just a stone-throw away from its original location, still serving up the same “Deep Fried Love” that it is famous for.

Though you may find him fishing, you won’t likely ever find Chef David Bishop fishing for compliments.

Hardworking, focused and self-effacing, Bishop would rather be nearly anywhere than in the spotlight. Not surprisingly, the place he is most at home, most relaxed and happy is in his kitchen at Bud & Alley’s Waterfront Restaurant in Seaside, which is where we caught up with him recently between lunch and dinner service.

The latest SoWal Real Estate Report includes all of South Walton real estate activity for September 2017, including statistics for single family homes, townhomes, and condos in Walton County, Florida.

Bud & Alley’s Waterfront Restaurant on Scenic 30A in the heart of Seaside welcomes Fall with a time-honored kick off of the 27th annual Seeing Red Wine Festival by hosting the highly-anticipated Vintner Dinner.

South Walton artist Justin Gaffrey will be unveiling his new contemporary body of work, “Absurd Form” on Thursday, November 9 from 5pm til 8pm. The art opening will take place at the Justin Gaffrey Gallery located along Scenic Highway 30A in Blue Mountain Beach. The exhibition, small bites and adult beverages are complimentary and open to the public.

Some of us work out for vanity or for sanity. Then there are those who find their life’s purpose in fitness.
