Seaside was Oregon’s first seashore resort. Just 90 minutes from Portland, it offers a broad oceanfront with many things to do and remains a popular place to play at the beach. Most everything is within walking distance and wheelchair accessible making it a great destination for all ages. There is the possibility for plenty of beach activities, such as beach volleyball, building sand castles, kite flying, tossing a Frisbee and much more. For the young at heart, there are amusements such as the carousel, arcades, miniature golf, bumper cars and boats, tilt-a-whirl, paddle boats and canoes. Enjoy a stroll along Seaside’s 1.5-mile oceanfront Promenade and take a look at its famous automobile Turnaround with the statue of Lewis & Clark. Breathe in the fresh air while gazing at the spectacular panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. Add to this the great people of this warm, friendly community, and it’s no wonder that Seaside is a destination for so many families, sports enthusiasts, and people who just want to kick back and enjoy life.
