Would you consider your town to be one of the best in the state? Quaint, thriving communities complete with no more than a few stop lights and neighbors who know each other by name cover the state, each offering something entirely unique to residents and visitors alike.

Wether you inhabit one of these cute, close knit communities, or visit often to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life in the city, there is one Florida town known for being the best in the state.

According to a list compiled by World Atlas, the best small town in all of Florida is Seaside.

Here's what World Atlas had to say about the best small town in the entire state:

"Seaside is an idyllic seaside destination nestled in the Florida Panhandle. Revered for being one of America’s first communities designed on the environmentally friendly New Urbanism principles, it is the embodiment of good cheer. Venturing through the well-maintained streets is a treat as the sun bounces off lovely pastel homes and mansions. If these sights seem familiar, it's because Seaside was the filming location for the movie "The Truman Show" starring Jim Carrey. You can feel like a film star under the Emerald Coast’s sunlight. Moreover, there are plenty of amazing art galleries shops such as Sundog Books and Fusion Art Glass & Fine Jewelry Gallery with splendid creativity to indulge in."
