Pedal Through Seaside: Why This Coastal Town is Perfect for Biking
How Bike-Friendly is Seaside, Oregon?
Seaside, Oregon, is a charming coastal town that’s incredibly bike-friendly. With the easy access to bike paths and local attractions, our teens can head off on their own into town to explore downtown, including the arcades, while the rest of us enjoy a relaxed ride along the beach. Whether you're a seasoned cyclist or just looking for a relaxing ride, Seaside offers plenty of scenic routes and easy access for cyclists of all ages.
Scenic Bike Paths and Routes
One of our favorite bike routes in Seaside is the Seaside Promenade, a 1.5-mile-long oceanfront boardwalk that’s perfect for family rides. With its flat, paved path and stunning views of the Pacific Ocean, it’s easy for everyone in our family—whether young or old—to enjoy. We love cruising along the promenade, taking in the sights, and stopping for a quick photo or two along the way. You can also ride from our vacation rentals through the town’s charming neighborhoods, along the beach, and into downtown. Every ride is a chance to enjoy the natural beauty of the Oregon Coast.
Easy Access to Rentals
If you didn’t bring your own bikes, don’t worry! Seaside has several great shops offering bike rentals. Our staff recommends Wheel Fun Rentals or Pedal on the Prom for a variety of bikes, from traditional ones to electric bikes for those who want a little extra assistance on longer rides. It’s super easy to rent for a couple of hours or a full day, families the freedom to explore without worrying about transporting bikes from home.
Convenience and Location
What we love most about biking in Seaside is how easy it is to get around. The town is compact, so you can bike from one attraction to another in no time. Our homes, Sunburst Beach House and Seaside Surf Bungalow, are located just 0.2 miles from the Seaside Promenade on the south side of town, making it incredibly convenient to grab your bikes and explore the town at your own pace. It's the perfect location to jump on your bike and start your adventure right from our doorstep.
