Who said coastal Oregon was a one-trick pony? Though the circumstances change from season to season, a winter escape to Seaside, Oregon, offers just as many activities as ever. And, here at The Seashore Inn on the Beach, you’ll be closer to them than you could imagine. So throw on your jacket, gloves, and hat, and prepare yourself for the best offerings to be had in the wintertime!
The Many Perks of Winter
As you can safely assume, the overall traffic during the wintertime in Seaside, Oregon, is down compared to the warmer months. You won’t have the droves of people hanging out on the beaches or waiting for tables at restaurants. Instead, you’ll seemingly have it all to yourself! It won’t be long until you feel ultra-comfortable with your surroundings and enjoy the area’s simple offerings without the nagging feeling to rush yourself along. As an added bonus, you’re likely to find great off-season rates and deals to increase your overall vacation value.
Open Sands and Ocean
In stride with the lack of traffic, experience having all the sand on the beach to yourself! Though it may be a bit chilly for swimming, long treks on the beach provide spectacular views of the ocean as well as landmark spots like Haystack Rock. Waiting in line to get your picture taken? Forget about it! Mother Nature often changes course during these few months. Depending on your luck, you may get fantastic storm-watching opportunities, including views of waves towering over 50 feet tall, and even see a few of the over 20,000 gray whales who migrate along the coast around this time of year. We don’t expect you’ll have that chance in July!
Year-Round Fun
While the winter climate in Seaside, Oregon, offers unique activities of its own, there are still plenty of things you can do regardless of the season. Explore the less-crowded nearby Ecola State Park on a bundled-up nature hike, head into Seaside or Astoria on a shopping spree, or check out any of the local entertainment venues, including the Seaside Aquarium, the historic Times Theater & Public House, or the Funland Seaside Arcade. After a full day of exploration and excitement, warm up with a fresh bowl of clam chowder at Dooger’s Seafood & Grill.
