Do you like going to the beach?

Seaside Oregon is a small town by the Oregon coast. It is about a 2 hour scenic drive from Portland. Around 100 miles or so. You get to travel through the Oregon coast range which in itself is a beauty. Along the way you can stop off at a place to have a drink of some pure mountain spring water. Then travel the rest of the distance to Seaside. Seaside is right off the Pacific ocean. It is a very lovely little town with many things to do and places to shop. There are also lots of hotels and dining places.Lets visit seaside together.

The history of Seaside started 1000's of years ago by the Clatsop Indians and their ancestors. Fourteen Clatsop villages were in existence as they were non Nomadic. They lived off of fresh seafood and hunted whales and Sea lions. As well as salmon and clams. They also ate deer and elk which they killed using a bow and arrow.They captured and sacrificed many forest creatures spirits..

The Indians also lived in cedar "long houses, 30 to 60 feet long.Long houses had shelves for sleeping and storage of food along the walls. It also had a fire pit for cooking that food and keeping warm.

They were trading and interacting with the Caucasian man long before anything was documented. The Caucasian people had come as Traders and trappers. Woodsman and survivors of shipwrecks come too.

I love a motel/hotel because.....

BarbRad says:

I loved camping at Sunset Beach in 1988, but I'm older now and the ground is lower than it used to be. On top of that, my husband needs electricity now for his breathing machine at night since he has apnea. From now on it's motels.

Joan4 says:

Gotta have a hotel! I am not a good camper at all!

WindyWinters says:

It's 5* or no* for me! I like to snuggle up with all the pillows & take a nap after a long day on the road! :)

Tuula_Olin says:

I can't resist the spa baths in nice hotel rooms. Gotta vote for the 5* hotel!

24websurf says:

I used to love to camp, but as I've gotten older and my muscles don't want to move after sleeping on the ground, I have to opt for the motel.
