I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
There are certain places that provoke a sense of nostalgia; old-fashioned spots that feel like a step back in time. Seaside, Oregon is one of these pure places. This delightful town on the Oregon Coast is as charming as it gets, with a picture-perfect promenade, old-school shops, and amusement park rides that all harken back to a slower, sweeter time. Let’s take a stroll through charming Seaside, Oregon, shall we?
Seaside is a beautiful locale on the North Oregon Coast that truly is the Platonic ideal of coastal towns.
Visitors can walk or bike the 1.5-mile Seaside Promenade (or "Prom" as it's lovingly referred), which is a postcard-perfect place that will remind you of a good, old-fashioned beach vacation.
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.
For breakfast, Pig 'N Pancake is a surefire crowd-pleaser, and when your sweet tooth starts calling, stop in for some saltwater taffy from Phillips Candies!
In addition to filling your belly with the aforementioned delicious fare, a visit to Seaside is sure to fill your heart and soul. This is a beautiful, beautiful town that's truly one of the most delightful destinations in Oregon.
