      city, Clatsop county, northwestern Oregon, U.S., on the Pacific Coast, south of Astoria. The site became popular as a seaside resort with the construction of a lavish guesthouse in the 1870s. A 2-mile (3-km) boardwalk runs atop a seawall paralleling the coast. Members of the Lewis and Clark Expedition (the first overland expedition to the Pacific Coast) obtained salt for food preservation by boiling down seawater on the local beach in the winter of 1805–06. The End of the Trail Monument and a reconstruction of the salt cairn on which the kettles of water were boiled commemorate the journey. The Seaside Aquarium exhibits marine life from the Oregon coast. The Seaside Museum and Historical Society is also of interest. Nearby is Saddle Mountain State Park. The Tillamook Rock Lighthouse, off Tillamook Head (south of Seaside), is not open to the public. Inc. 1899. Pop. (1990) 5,359; (2000) 5,900.
