Seaside






Last summer I went to Seaside, Florida with my family in July. We ran into some friends which made the vacation more exciting. My family and I go to Seaside a couple times every year, we have been going since i was six months old, so it is like home to me. Seaside is a little town on the beach attached to Watercolor, however they are both pretty much considered one small town. It's my favorite beach with white sand and clear, turquoise water. While we were there, my mom took us out snorkeling on the sandbars and we found many sand-dollars and my mom even found a couple starfish as well. In addition to snorkeling, my sister, Hallie, and my brother, Macan went YOLO boarding. YOLO boarding is a big surfboard with a black grip on it that you stand on and use a paddle to ride around the ocean. It's very fun but hard to learn because you have to have good balance at first. In Watercolor and Seaside everyone rides bikes and/or golf carts everywhere which makes it more fun than riding everywhere in a car like in the city. Every year my family and I go get shaved ice from a little trailer right in the middle of Seaside that everyone goes to. This trailer is called Frostbites and has the best snow cones (shaved ice) in the world, if you ask my opinion and have almost every flavor with silly names like 'Frog in a Blender' and 'Pink Flamingo' or even 'Atomic waste' which is every flavor put in one, surprisingly delicious. There are many other fun activities in Watercolor and Seaside that we do but it's the way everyone can go and relax and enjoy their friends and family at the beach that makes it so great along with the fresh smell of saltwater from the ocean and the feeling of sand in your toes because as they say Seaside is "Where bare feet and sandy floors rule." I recommend anyone who likes the beach to go there even if you do not like the beach I know this place will change your mind!
