    Great views and access of the beach are here. Also a great photo op with the Seaside sign. Seaside is lots of fun. It's near lots of shops and restaurants too.

    The logging museum is mostly big logging equipment outside. There is also a small memorial museum in a building. If you like looking at large logging machinery or the history of logging this is worth a stop. There is easy access and plenty of parking too.
    We ordered the cinnamon roll to go (from the attached restaurant that is actually a separate busineee), as we had read it was very good. And yes it was. The roll was so large we had four servings of it over the next two days. Warmed in the microwave was a melt in your mouth experience.

    The beach is beautiful. At the periphery of the Prom, it's not very crowded. There are more folks near the turnaround, but still not too bad.

    Awesome beach area for exploring or just finding a good Zen. The 'Lion' rock makes for a great photo shoot.

    I had read the reviews before going, so realized this is a tiny aquarium and certainly can be viewed in a half hour or so.
    I was convinced to feed the seals, but four half sardines (or similar bait fish) for $2? Glad I didn't have a family of children with me.
    The staff is extremely knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. And the gift shop while compact had a few things I picked up, including 2 of the "make a pearl necklace" ( sorry, I can't remember the actual name) items for gifts.
    Thank you to other reviewers for the warning about No Onsite Public Bathrooms.

    This is a National Park! It’s probably the smallest one they have! The description on the sign of the sight is based on a story told by an indigenous persons grandfather who saw two white med boiling salt water. Interesting.

    I went for a quick stroll along the trail that was close to our accommodation. It was a rainy day, which made the trail slick and added to the pleasure. There are several roots and mud to cope with. Nice trail.

    This is a very fun hike and is very easy until the last maybe half mile. Gorgeous views!! I actually wondered if I was going to finish but I just slowed down and kept going. It was totally worth it!

    This unique photo experience shouldn’t be missed! My partner and I had A LOT of fun posing in the various scenes. I laughed so much! Our pictures turned out great, and it’s a pretty good deal since you get all of the shots and a free print of your choice. I didn’t want initially to do the bathroom poses, but that turned out the funniest! Still giggling every time I look at the pictures!

    This was by far the best carousel we have ever tried. Very long ride, clean the operator was pleasant and safety conscious. Fun for kids under five and maybe some adults too.

    This is out of the way from Astoria back toward the Portland area, but there are lots of elk to observe along the road -- in a couple of different locations.

    Despite its size, the exhibits are informative and visually interesting. The docent was knowledgeable about both the museum and the area history. A very pleasant stop.
