An afternoon on the Northern Oregon Coast
by Beyond The Miles Travel Blog
Why we featured this post
A Portland day trip can fit more Oregon Coast than you might expect, and this guide maps out a practical Seaside, Ecola State Park, and Cannon Beach loop. Families get concrete ideas for Seaside's 1.5-mile Promenade, seal feeding at the aquarium, and Haystack Rock tide pools, plus a useful warning that the incoming water can close the distance surprisingly fast. It also flags Ecola's narrow forest approach and potential landslide closures, so check park status before promising anyone a cliff-view hike.
Things to do
- Walk Seaside's 1.5-mile oceanfront Promenade
- Feed harbor seals at Seaside Aquarium
- See the Lewis and Clark End of the Trail statue
- Take in coastal views at Ecola State Park
- Explore Haystack Rock tide pools at low tide
