We Found Cosmic Secret Park in Seaside FL

A giant sundial isn't all there is to Natchez Park, but it's definitely the most impressive component. The park, designed by architect Charles Warren, is composed of architectural elements symbolizing the sun; including the sundial, two obelisks, and a ziggurat. The sundial can be read from the various vantage points in the park, from the upper floors of the nearby houses, and from the small scale dial at the base of the sundial, to suggest the shift in scale from cosmic to human. The wooden ziggurat marks other intersections, and the paired obelisks mark the end points of a trail of live oaks.

Today on 30A Misfits we tour Seaside! We have some awesome shrimp and grits at Great Southern Cafe and try a shot of juiced ginger for the first time..which ends up with some unintended consequences. We come back on another day and check out Natchez Park, try every sauce at Barefoot Barbecue, get a facial while Emma gets a massage at The Spa, and try cotton candy fudge at the original dessert shop in Seaside, before going on an "All Access Tour" of all of Seaside's beach accesses.
