Truman’s House from “The Truman Show”

Used as the picture-perfect setting for Jim Carrey’s character’s surreal, too-perfect life in the 1998 movie The Truman Show, Seaside Beach represents the hallmark of the New Urbanism movement in architecture and city planning. Here, idyllic homes in pastel shades trimmed with white are encompassed by white picket fences and brick streets—including Truman’s home on Natchez Street.

Grayton Beach

With town ordinances preventing mass commercialization or the construction of cookie-cutter homes, the oldest town in South Walton has hung onto its classic beach town charm throughout the many decades since it was founded.

The Varying Architecture of 30A’s Towns

While this refers to multiple attractions on 30A, including Seaside, Alys Beach, Inlet Beach, and Rosemary Beach, it’s still a great way to see the sights of 30A. Each town on 30A (though especially the towns we just mentioned) all sport distinct architecture that makes them stand out from their neighbors, often as a result an interesting facet of their history, such as a particular architectural movement, like Seaside and New Urbanism.
