Seaside: US101 at - MP 22.50 SB

Seaside sits beside the Pacific Ocean and the Necanicum River on Oregon’s northern coast in the United States, where a broad sandy shoreline meets the forested foothills of the Coast Range. The town developed as a seaside resort in the late 19th century and remains closely associated with its oceanfront Promenade, a pedestrian route along the beach. Seaside also marks an episode of the Lewis and Clark Expedition: the Corps of Discovery operated a salt works here during the winter of 1805–06, boiling seawater to preserve meat for its return journey. Downtown streets, surf shops and seasonal events give the waterfront an active, informal character. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of the Oregon Coast.

The Cascade Range and high desert define much of Oregon, shaping a state where forestry, farming, hydropower and outdoor recreation are central to regional life. The Columbia River forms much of its northern border, while the Willamette Valley supports fertile farmland between the Cascades and the Coast Range. Oregon’s Pacific shore is marked by long beaches, headlands and working coastal towns, and Crater Lake preserves the deep caldera of Mount Mazama in the south. Oregon City is associated with the historic end of the Oregon Trail, a reminder of the migration that transformed the nineteenth-century American West.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
