Just another amazing American road side natural attraction, the Jewelll Mountain Elk Reserve is definitely work a stop. We happened on this by chance; a logging truck was tailgating us on Hwy 26 so we pulled over. In front of us was an expansive green meadow with many elk chilling in the light rain. So peaceful, serene, and natural. We felt blessed chance brought us here. Plan you stop to be sure not to miss!

We were introduced to this place 10 years ago and made a point to come here when we returned to the area. Great food (come hungry-- generous portions), the log building/restaurant & logging equipment/collections are impressive (check out the "ridge pole" at the top of the ceiling as well as the solid-log bar in the basement) and the staff friendly (despite the fact that we showed up right before closing). Husband & son enjoyed the machinery/logging stuff; daughter & I enjoyed the fall decor/fireplaces; we all enjoyed the food. :-)

The fresh and wafting breeze emanating from the mighty and rough Pacific permeated my soul with a bliss and serenity. Contrasting that with the jagged coast and rough terrain made for a glorious reminder that the Oregon coast is God's own country.

I never fail to stop by to browse or buy at Seaside's Antique Mall. The Mall is vast and chock full of antiques, vintage items and collectibles. I never seem to leave without some treasure.

6. Beach Books

The only thing small town about this book store is its location. The staff is very knowledgeable and on top of what is important to readers today. They keep their finger on the pulse of what is up-and-coming both in nonfiction and fiction and if the book is not on the Shelf they can get it for you without any difficulty. I don't live in Seaside, but I still consider Beach books my local bookstore. Most of the year I call and request books and they mail them to me at my home address in Alaska. You don't have to live in Seaside to make Beach books your local bookstore.

Arcadia Beach is Beautiful and Fun Beach to visit anytime of the year! A smallish parking lot, so get there early for the best spots. Right on Highway 101 and a short walk down the steps to the most Gorgeous sandy beach that's got a Terrific Surf very close. Some fun rocks to climb and there used to be a lot of rocks, shells, and agates until a high tide washed a whole lot of sand in and now it's hard to find them. Great picnic area and a Wonderful view!
9. Seaside Beach Lewis and Clark Monument

This is a must-do for anyone visiting Seaside. Drive around the circle, take photos at the monument, park nearby and watch the ocean. There is park bench seating surrounding the turn-around. The turn-around and monument overlook the ocean and are adjacent to the boardwalk. Broadway Street runs east and west and at the west end it's a one-way. Driving Broadway is a must too. Broadway is the main street with many small shops, some touristy and some just nice shops. The site includes public restrooms under the turn-around/statute. Not far away is the salt making site where the expedition distilled seawater for salt.
