 Winter along the Oregon CoastIt is the quietest time of year at the coast, and winter visitors love it that way. Mild temperatures make Seaside one of the easiest travel destinations to reach during the winter, but storm watchers are also drawn to the sometimes wild weather. Storm-tossed seas can be an awesome sight and winter tides often bring the best beach combing finds of the year. In one of nature's most remarkable migrations, over 20,000 Gray Whales are observed from coastal viewpoints. Herds of elk are seen roaming and grazing in coastal meadows. Bald Eagles soar overhead, Peregrine Falcons hunt along waterways and many other varieties of birds make this a prime season for bird watching. Several area holiday events make winter an active time of year. Consider a winter getaway by checking out our "30 Things to Do Feature," flip through the Virtual Visitor Guide or simply get motivated for a trip to Seaside by viewing some of our videos of what happens in our beautiful coastal town. |

 More than just a day at the beach
Seaside has been the Northwest’s most popular ocean resort for over a century and is located just 90 minutes from Portland, Oregon. It is a destination paradise for a wide variety of reasons: its spectacular ocean views, miles of public beach, unique natural setting, mild ocean climate, outdoor activities, year-round events, excellent shopping, and unforgettable dining.
Visitors delight in dozens of unique boutiques, specialty shops, art galleries and antique stores. Our 1.5-mile long ocean front Promenade is perfect for strollers, joggers and bike riders. The “Prom” also gives access to those with mobility issues, getting them closer to the beach. The wide and sandy beach is available for all kinds of activities, from low rider beach bikes, beach volleyball, wave watching, to sand castle building, kite flying or a hot dog roast. Those young at heart will enjoy such amusements as the carousel, arcades, miniature golf, bumper cars and boats, tilt-a-whirl, paddle boats and canoes.
Seaside has a plethora of culinary delights, satisfying even the most discriminating taste buds. We offer family fare, fine dining, ethnic cuisine, spirits, wine and brews, snacks and sweet treats. Local seafood and Pacific Northwest fare abound. Many of our lodging properties offer daily and weekly rates ranging from traditional hotels and motels, Bed and Breakfasts, Inns, timeshares, condos, vacation rentals, camp grounds and RV Resorts. Seaside is more than just a day at the beach!

Historic photo of the week
This photograph documents the dedication of The Promenade and Turnaround built in 1920. The event was clearly quite popular, as you can see. The concrete walkway and automobile round-about replaced a wooden walkway along the beachfront.
