Beachcombing
Winter can be a great time for beachcombing, especially after coastal storms when interesting and unique items may wash ashore. Bundle up and explore the coastline for treasures.
Storm Watching
Experience the power of the mighty Pacific Ocean during winter storms. The crashing waves against the rocky shore can be awe-inspiring. Always stay at a safe distance and observe from designated viewpoints.
Shopping
Spend an afternoon exploring Seaside’s bustling downtown area boasting shops, boutiques, confectioners and galleries. Make sure to head to the Old Town District to see what hidden treasures you can find at the Seaside Antique Mall.
Indoor Attractions

Cycling or Walking the Promenade
The Seaside Promenade, also known as the Prom, is a scenic oceanfront walkway. Bundle up and enjoy a brisk walk or bike ride along the coastline. You can rent bikes from several local bike rental shops. Looking for some laughs while you exercise? Try renting a tandem, or a double or triple surrey!
Visit the Turnaround
The Seaside Turnaround is a historic landmark where visitors can enjoy scenic views of the ocean and surrounding area. It’s a great spot to take some photos to capture an unforgettable trip to the beach.
Bird and Whale Watching
Winter brings migratory birds and mammals to the area. Bring your binoculars and explore the diverse birdlife around Seaside. December to early February is the time to find majestic Gray Whales migrating south along the Oregon coastline to Baja, Mexico. You’ll have to look a little harder but keep your eye out for spouts a few miles off the shore.
Dining
Explore the local culinary scene. Many seaside restaurants offer cozy atmospheres and fresh seafood. Warm up with a piping hot bowl of clam chowder after a brisk walk on the beach.
