Steve’s take
Highway 30A is about forty minutes south of I-10, and Seaside is the pastel-colored beach town where they filmed The Truman Show. The beach here is ridiculous — sugar-white sand, emerald water — and the town has food trucks, ice cream shops, and a bookstore. It's fancier than the Griswold family's usual speed, but sometimes you pull off the highway and accidentally end up somewhere beautiful. Don't fight it.
