Beach house rentals, vacation fun and surf are what Seaside Oregon and Gearhart are known for… Seaside Oregon is More than a day at the beach! It’s three miles of powder-soft beach and two miles of manicured ocean front boardwalk. Find a Seaside vacation rental within walking distance of the popular main street activities and the kids can have fun at arcades while you shop or take a stroll along the ocean front promenade. Seaside is a great place to find large group vacation rentals like Weiss Paradise Suites & Rentals, they can accommodate up to 26 of your family and friends!
Seaside is on the north coast of Oregon and is just a 90 minute drive from the Portland airport. It’s conveniently located in the middle of many coast attractions. Just north is the quiet town of Gearhart, where you can find a vacation rental near the popular Gearhart Golf Links. South of town where the shore turns rocky, you can watch the local surfers ride the waves while you comb the beach for treasures.
This historic town of Seaside lies at the end of the Lewis and Clark trail. A bronze monument honoring the expedition overlooks the Pacific Ocean at the famous downtown turnaround. You can learn the history of Lewis and Clark at the Fort Clatsop interpretive center just south of Astoria.
Visit Seaside anytime of the year and always find a fun family adventure!
