Currently, Seaside’s geography features a gradual slope of wide beach and dunes from the Clatsop Spit. This environment provides the perfect breeding ground for millions of razor clams every year, forming their beds along Seaside’s clean Pacific sands. Today, Seaside has incorporated another kind of perfect recipe, clam chowder! Indeed, Norma’s Seafood restaurant is home to one of the most beloved and acclaimed clam chowders by professionals across the nation. It’s Seaside’s clamming ambitions and friendly access that attracts thousands of visitors to the area again and again.

Today you will find plenty of fun family activities, which include arcades, an aquarium, crabbing from the bridges, and much much more. Events from Hot Rod shows, to volleyball tournaments and many other activities fill the calendar throughout the year.  There is something going on almost all year round in Seaside.
