The Oregon Coast stretches for more than 580 kilometers (360 miles) along the Pacific, offering a dramatic mix of rugged cliffs, sandy beaches, and forested headlands. Towns like Astoria, Newport, and Coos Bay blend maritime history with modern seaside culture, giving travelers a mix of lighthouses, fishing piers, and waterfront promenades. The coastline is famous for its accessible nature, with nearly every inch protected as public land, allowing visitors to explore dunes, tide pools, and panoramic viewpoints. Iconic landmarks include Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach, the sweeping Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area, and the historic Yaquina Head Lighthouse. Wildlife is abundant, from migrating gray whales and sea lions to thousands of seabirds nesting on offshore sea stacks. From storm-watching in winter to sunset strolls in summer, the Oregon Coast offers a year-round blend of wild beauty and relaxed coastal charm.
The webcam overlooking the beach in Seaside provides a wide, steady view of the city's iconic shoreline, capturing the long wooden boardwalk known locally as the Prom, the sandy beach stretching into the distance, and the row of houses that sit just behind the dunes. From this vantage point, viewers can easily watch waves rolling in, people walking along the promenade, and the relaxed rhythm of life on the Oregon Coast. The camera’s perspective also includes the beachfront neighborhood, making it possible to see how coastal clouds, fog, or sunlight interact with the homes and landscape. Because it constantly shows the sky, surf, and shoreline visibility, the webcam is excellent for checking current weather conditions–whether you want to know if it's sunny, windy, foggy, or perfect for a seaside stroll. This live view combines scenery, atmosphere, and local detail, offering a real-time window into one of the Oregon Coast's most popular beach towns.
