    Explore the Charm of Seaside

    Seaside is a vibrant coastal town where the Pacific Ocean meets sandy shores and family-friendly attractions. Known for its historic promenade, this lively destination offers an ideal mix of relaxation and adventure. The iconic boardwalk stretches 1.5 miles along the beach, providing stunning ocean views and access to local shops, eateries, and arcades that make it perfect for visitors of all ages.

    A visit to Seaside isn't complete without exploring its natural beauty. Spend your day hiking through nearby Ecola State Park or take a leisurely stroll along Tillamook Head Trail for breathtaking vistas of the coastline. During summer months, enjoy surfing lessons or rent bikes to explore more hidden corners at your own pace. In winter, cozy up with hot cocoa while storm-watching from one of many beachfront accommodations.

    Unique experiences await in Seaside year-round—from kite flying on breezy days to discovering marine life at low tide in Haystack Rock's tide pools just down the coast in Cannon Beach. Whether you're savoring fresh seafood at a local diner or enjoying sunset bonfires on the sand with friends old and new—Seaside captures quintessential Oregon charm like no other place can offer.
