Plan a Classic Winter Escape to Seaside, Oregon
As autumn subtly transforms into winter, Oregon’s picturesque coastline typically allures a distinct type of traveler—one that values crowd-less beaches, rain-soaked topography, and deep savings on “off-season” bookings. Seaside, Oregon, in particular, is a quiet, undeniably beautiful slice of the Pacific Northwest that entices romance-starved couples, casual tourists, and growing families alike. Thanks to the town’s unobstructed Pacific Ocean views, mountainous cliffsides, and idyllic inns, Seaside remains a four-season haven. Seaside’s crown jewel, The Seashore Inn on the Beach, can swiftly cure those midwinter blues. There’s never been a more advantageous time to book a classic, long-awaited winter escape to Oregon’s most secretive hidden gem.
An Off-Season Adventure: The Beauty of Winter in Oregon
The Seashore Inn lends itself to various travelers, mainly beachgoers, hikers, and romantics. That script doesn’t change amid winter’s frostiest moments. Average highs hover in the low-to-mid 50s during the chilliest winter months, approximately only 10 to 15 degrees cooler than a typical summer day. Seaside welcomes less than one inch of snow per year. Ipso facto, it’s always beach season along Oregon’s coast!
Common mid-day pursuits include whale watching (especially during March’s calving season), storm watching, and, of course, beachcombing. Winter waves often reach 300 feet high along the oceanic rockfaces in nearby Ecola State Park, a common gathering place for nature photographers. The Dungeness crabbing season also reopens on December 1, much to the delight of seafood lovers who don’t mind a little crab-tastic adventure. Coastal Fishing Adventures offers $100 crabbing sessions, with Astoria Fishing Charters sitting at $125 per person.
Season’s Greetings: The Seaside Parade of Lights
Every Black Friday, Seaside sheds its Thanksgiving disguise and converts into a holiday jubilee. The Seaside Parade of Lights, in particular, is a massive draw for those who relish classic holiday tunes, Kris Kringle and his faithful reindeer, and a kaleidoscope of color via lighted floats. After watching the eye-popping parade of light, the kids can talk shop with Santa Claus, sip on hot cocoa, and bask in all of the colorful glory. On Black Friday, other Christmas-related festivities include the Seaside Artisan Fair, Yuletide in Seaside, the annual Christmas tree lighting, and the Gingerbread Tea gathering.
