Having visited Seagrove Beach three times, I can confidently say it’s our go-to family vacation spot. We always rent a charming home in the same cozy neighborhood. Just a quick five-minute drive away is Seaside, the picturesque town made famous by The Truman Show. If you feel like exploring further, Destin is a 30-minute jaunt to the west, while Panama City is about 20 minutes to the east. Here are ten family-friendly activities we absolutely adore in Seagrove Beach!
- Angelina’s Pizza – This place is a family favorite! I think everyone in our group has their number saved in their phones. We order as soon as we arrive at our rental. Plus, the atmosphere is super welcoming for dining in, and you can’t beat the taste—especially when you’re starving after a long drive!
- Food Trucks in Seaside – You can find an array of delicious options, from mouthwatering grilled cheese sandwiches to refreshing daiquiris. There’s something for every palate!
- Gelato Shop in Seaside – Located right next to a cute little bookstore filled with delightful children’s literature and toys, this gelato spot is staffed by the friendliest people you’ll ever meet. It’s the perfect place to grab a sweet treat!
- Harbor Walk Village in Destin – Take a leisurely stroll along the boardwalk, watch fishermen showcase their daily catches, hop on a dolphin cruise, or even ride jet skis. And, of course, don’t forget the ice cream!
- Publix Supermarket – We always make a pit stop here upon arrival. Not only do they have the best spinach artichoke dip ever (seriously, it’s life-changing), but you can also grab beach essentials like floaties for the kids if you forgot to pack them!
- Gulf World Marine Park in Panama City – This charming marine theme park is just the right size for families. There are engaging shows and plenty of marine life to see!
- Dollar Store in Panama City – If you’re looking for budget-friendly souvenirs, this is the place to be! Shark tooth necklaces, cheesy Florida mugs, and even bizarre back scratchers are all just a dollar each!
- Destin Outlet Shopping – Want to indulge in some retail therapy? The outlet malls in Destin offer fantastic deals—hello, Coach bags!
- Outdoor Movie Nights in Seaside – Every Friday during summer, you can enjoy a movie under the stars. Just bring your blanket and snacks for a cozy family night out—it’s like a drive-in, minus the cars!
- The Beautiful Beaches – With stunning white sands and crystal-clear waters, the beach is where my kids can play for hours. Meanwhile, I can kick back in my beach chair, enjoying some well-deserved relaxation with an electronic device in one hand and a refreshing drink in the other.
