You'll find dozens of delightful mini-malls, specialty boutiques, antique shops, art galleries, museums, arcades and cinemas. Ride an elegant steed on the Town Center Carousel and don't forget to visit the famous Seaside Aquarium, where playful seals and spectacular sea life are the highlight of any trip. Take a casual stroll along the Promenade boardwalk and enjoy the turnaround at Broadway in the heart of Seaside. Broadway has many shops and activities for visitors. Just a few minutes from downtown, the wonders of this magnificent coastal wilderness are waiting to be discovered along many secluded walking and hiking trails. Seaside is for sports! Home of a variety of marathons, Seaside is also perfect for swimming, surfing, kite flying, volleyball, golf and tennis. Steelhead, trout, salmon and other game fish are just waiting to challenge anglers. And Seaside's 12 Avenue bridge is a crabber's delight! For those who have developed an appetite during their stay, there is a satisfying array of restaurants, taverns and eateries in town. Delectable fresh seafood, the renowned Oregon wines and savory specialties of the house mark the excellence of Seaside's dining experience.
