Seaside
is located in the northwest corner of the state and is Oregon's largest and oldest seaside resort. This colorful beach community lies at the very end of the Lewis and Clark trail and a monument stands at the end of Broadway Street to commemorate the explorers' journey. Seaside first began drawing tourists in the 1870s, and it still remains an old-fashioned family beach resort today. This is the place to stroll the two-mile promenade, eating hot dogs or munching on cotton candy or salt water taffy while visiting the arcades. It's also a perfect beach for kite flying or renting a "beach buggy" for a ride along the scenic shore! There are also hiking trails, fishing, crabbing and clamming, beach volleyball, and golf, surfing or relaxing in the warm sun. Seaside offers paddleboat rentals, bike rentals, roller blades, mopeds, and old-fashioned surreys! In Seaside, you can ride horse back at sunset, or build a fire on the beach and have a cookout. Kids love the arcades, bumper cars, old-fashioned carousel, aquarium and Town Center Mall. Parents can explore the quaint gift shops, art galleries and antiques stores. There is an abundance of lodging choices, and dining can be a picnic on the beach, or eating at a sidewalk café or fine seafood restaurant. Seaside truly has a unique blend of activities for the whole family, from outdoor recreation to history, culture and entertainment.

Seaside Weather & Climate

The Northern Coast of Oregon has the least sunshine of any area in the state - but the gorgeous scenery more than makes up for the lack of sunshine. The northwest region is a heavily timbered area with lots of rainfall much of the year, resulting in lush pastures and rich farmland. Along the coast, the average annual snowfall is only one to three inches, with many years in which there is no measurable amount at all. Thunderstorms can occur in the valleys, but are usually not severe. Major flooding occurs in the coastal streams as a result of several days of moderate to heavy rain. Melting of a heavy snow pack on the Coast Range and/or the Cascades greatly increases the flood potential. The only other severe weather conditions on the Oregon coast are hailstorms, which are generally light and cover very small areas, and occasional high winds.
