I really love Seaside…read more It's probably my favorite town on the Oregon coast. The first time I ever visited was in my early teens and I came here with the Masonic youth org of which I was a member. I think we ended up going here a couple times during my years in that group but I never came with my family until just this past summer. Since we're from Eugene, Florence to Lincoln City was usually where we headed to the beach. I've always thought of Seaside as the closest thing you'll find to a California beach in Oregon. The weather is not bad for Oregon's coastal cities but they also have lifeguards on duty, which is atypical. The shopping/tourist area is really conveniently located, being right on the beach near all the hotels and compact enough that you can feel at ease if your teens wander around on their own. There's lots of shops (souvenirs, clothing, ice cream, and more), as well as the Seaside Carousel Mall whose centerpiece is of course the carousel. (Which is awesome by the way!) There's bumper cars and other arcade delights. There are several stops on the Oregon Ice Cream Trail too! We came here for the Fourth of July weekend and had a fantastic time. I love parades; we had fun watching theirs, and it wasn't so crowded that you couldn't see anything or that people were standing five deep. It was easy to get a viewing spot. The historical society held a Fourth of July Social and it was so much fun. They had a cake walk, face painting, fishing booth, bingo, cotton candy, hot dogs and dessert that one of the local orgs were selling. It was like being in the movie Pollyanna! This was held directly after the conclusion of the parade just a couple blocks away, and also a short walk from where we were staying. The town hosts lots of events too. The Miss Oregon pageant is probably the most high profile, held annually here. They also have art walks, as well as a jazz festival. And amongst their Independence Day celebrations is a fantastic fireworks show on the beach--truly the best fireworks show I've attended anywhere. But of course the reason you go to Seaside is the beach. There's a parking lot a block or two from the beach and street parking as well, but one thing I will say for Seaside is that it doesn't have as much beach-area parking as other coastal towns. The Promenade goes along the beachfront, and the Seaside Aquarium is a stop along the Prom. The beach is beautiful and large, and even has a little swingset in one area. The water is COLD, even in the height of summer, but you get used to it pretty quickly. My little one had never been to the beach before but, like her fave Moana, the sea seems to call to her. Seaside has an amenity that I don't think is terribly common, which is that they offer beach wheelchairs. My mom uses a wheelchair when away from home, and we were able to borrow a beach wheelchair so she could go out with us. It wasn't the easiest thing to push on the sand, but it did the trick. That was fun since she was able to watch as my babe took her first steps in the ocean. There were three wheelchairs, which you borrow free of charge through Sunset Empire Park District (Seaside's recreation district) and can use for up to four hours total (that's including key exchange, so make sure your building that into your time at the beach). The wheelchairs are locked up near the public parking lot, which is about a block from the beach and a four or five blocks from the park district building I think. Be aware that these are not motorized wheelchairs, and it would probably be impossible for the person in the wheelchair to make it through the sand on their own so someone will need to push. There may also be a place where you can rent beach wheelchairs for a fee, maybe for a longer period of time. And if you find the little blue "roads" made especially for the beach wheelchairs that may make it easier to maneuver in the sand. Though the spring and summer is my favorite time to visit, there's undoubtedly things happening year round. Seaside would be in my top three places to visit on the Oregon Coast. From Portland, it's a fairly quick drive at about an hour and a half or so (it used to be a getaway Portlanders in its early days). Just be aware that you'll be driving through the Coast Range, mostly on a two lane road, and we saw quite a few elk along the way during both day and night so you'll need to be alert.
