This is my first time in SoWal during New Years, but I did see some info on Watercolor Inn having a 80's New Years celebration, and Seaside is having music and festivities starting at 7:00, with fireworks later that night. I think there are also some things going on at Baytowne Wharf. The 30A website has a listing of some of the events going on. The Watercolor Inn is having a 3 course dinner but it is 99.00 per person. I also saw that Stinky's Fish Camp is having a New Years Eve dinner, with reasonable prices, and their food is very good. I hope this helps!
