Local tips
A few pointers from our on-the-ground team.
-
Snap a photo at the Turnaround
The Turnaround at Broadway is Seaside’s iconic spot. The Lewis and Clark statue there is the classic family photo. -
Arrange parking ahead of time
Weekends during summer and any festival are packed. Book parking-included rentals when possible. -
Watch the sunset from Prom
Sunset from the Prom is the best free show in town. Grab ice cream from Zinger’s and walk south. -
Book your rental early for Hood to Coast weekend
Hood to Coast weekend is chaotic in the best way; it’s also the hardest weekend to get a rental. Plan accordingly. -
Plan the Seaside Aquarium and Prom together
Seaside Aquarium is small by city standards; an hour is usually enough. Pair it with the Prom for a full morning. -
Expect Tillamook Head to be hard
Tillamook Head can be surprisingly strenuous. Wear real shoes and bring water. The view from Ecola Point is worth the climb.
