PETER IREDALE SHIPWRECK
Located in Fort Stevens State Park, the remains of a 20th century ship rests on the shoreline among the waves.
FLY GLIDERS AT THE ASTORIA COLUMN
Climb Astoria Column’s spiral staircase and send your gift-store-bought gliders sailing from on high. Younger ones can launch gliders from the hill right in the parking lot.
PEDAL ON THE PROM
Rent surrey bikes for an unforgettable 4-wheel experience. Ride along The Prom, Seaside’s historic beachfront walkway, and stop off for sweets, the aquarium, and other sights.
TAKE A TROLLEY RIDE
In the summer, the Astoria Trolley runs along the Columbia River. The entire 3-mile ride is complete in just under an hour, stopping in the historic and business districts.
SHOP SWEET TREATS
A timeless treasure, Bruce’s Candy Kitchen has locations in Cannon Beach and Seaside filled with chocolate creations, homemade fudge, saltwater taffy, and other confections.
CAPTURE CAROUSEL MAGIC
An indoor carousel with 17 different animals ready for riding – a seahorse, a pig, a giraffe, a jackrabbit, you name it! Take them each for a spin.
