The Historic Seaside Promenade (known as the Prom) is one and a half miles long, stretching from Avenue U (on the south end of town) to 12th Avenue (on the north end of town), and of course it borders along the gorgeous Pacific Ocean. Taking a stroll along the Prom is an absolute must whether you’re just passing through Seaside, or staying for a few days to enjoy all Seaside has to offer. It is a 15-foot wide paved walkway that was built in 1920, and dedicated in 1921 (prior to that there was a wooden walkway).

At 154 feet in height and almost 50 feet in circumference, Rockaway Beach’s magnificent old cedar resides amid a tiny remnant of old-growth coastal bog among other large Sitka spruce and western red-cedar trees. Along this developed stretch of coastline, it’s a surprise to explore the dark interior of such a primeval swamp, the 45 boggy acres of the Old Growth Cedar Preserve. The tree and the bog are now accessed by a universal access raised boardwalk, opened in June 2019, that is half a mile long.
