Seaside is a world class resort and family destination. One thing that sets Seaside apart from every other beach community is that Seaside is a walking community. Everything is within walking distance and most places are wheelchair accessible, which makes it easy for all to explore.

Seaside was Oregon's first seashore resort and remains a popular vacation and weekend destination, a place to build sand castles with your kids or dream of castles in our clean air.

Ocean, rivers and mountains merge to create an unparalleled natural wonderland for outdoor activities. Amusements, arcades and the shopping will entertain everyone in the family. Galleries, movies, music and fine dining add spice to your visit. Sunset beach walks, fireplaces and ocean views, breakfast in bed, heavenly chocolates, intimate dining or an evening paddle boat ride on the river are romantic treats for lovers. It's all more than just a day at the beach.

Seaside is home to the oldest aquarium on the West Coast, founded in 1937. At Seaside Aquarium, going off the deep end has never been so much fun! The underwater areas take you into a fascinating world of unusual and rare life forms. The family of seals is a spirited bunch. Each has its own personality and routines to attract attention.

Visible from Seaside, just offshore from Tillamook Head, Tillamook Rock Lighthouse is one of the Pacific coast’s most interesting lighthouses.  Sitting atop an outcropping of rock surrounded by ocean on all sides, the Tillamook Rock Lighthouse was completed in 1881 to guide ships approaching the Columbia River past the dangerous jutting headland.

While in Seaside, you will be greeted by special people who are busy year round providing endless entertainment, pageants, car shows, festivals, volleyball tournaments and many other wonderful things to see and do.

Seaside's location provides the perfect atmosphere for weddings, holidays and business retreats in any season.
