The beach stretches for almost three miles, and about half is bordered by the Promenade, a paved pathway that divides the town from the beach, which can be utilized for cycling, walking and jogging. The simplest way to the city’s beach is at the end of Broadway Street, where you’ll find a monument marking the end of the Lewis and Clark Trail and concrete steps leading down to the sand. The beach has volleyball nets, and restrooms just below the stairs. Just keep in mind that this beach during school breaks can get very crowded.
Pay a visit to the Seaside Aquarium to see live exhibits featuring regional marine life, including the massive Sunflower Starfish, Pacific Octopus and Wolf Eel.

Or enjoy some old-fashion kicks at the Funland Entertainment Center, the coast’s oldest and largest arcade. The extensive arcade features video games, skee ball, ticket prizes, air hockey and more.
