And with regards to the beach, Seaside is known for its epic beach-combing. With one of the most expansive sandy beaches on the Oregon Coast, Seaside is the perfect spot to go looking for treasures; you’ll find everything from shells and sand dollars to razor clams and comb jellies.

In addition to its coastal charms, the town is historically significant, too. The Turnaround, located at its center, just so happens to mark the end of Lewis and Clark’s epic travels; and in 1990, a statue was added to commemorate the duo’s historic journey.
