The coastal area spanning Seaside, Gearhart, Arch Cape, Surf Pines, Neawanna Station and Butterfield pairs Pacific beaches with forested headlands and the Necanicum River estuary. Marine weather brings cool, wet winters and mild summers, with breezes and changing skies part of daily life. Seaside’s Promenade, Gearhart’s open shoreline and the views around Arch Cape offer places to walk and take in the coast; nearby Nehalem Bay State Park adds trails and outdoor access. Seaside’s downtown has cafés, restaurants and independent shops, while art galleries and seasonal events add to the local calendar. The area’s coastal history is visible in landmarks such as the Seaside Turnaround and the historic Lewis and Clark Salt Works. Walking and cycling work well in town, while a car is useful for connecting the scattered communities. For ZIP code 97138, the median rent is $1,895 per month, with a typical range of $850 to $9,659.
