CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: GREG CLODFELTER (2); GREGOR HALENDA Find Historic Charm and Diverse Shops on Upper Broadway Seaside’s main drag, Broadway Street — which connects the Seaside Visitors Bureau on Highway 101 on its east end to the beach at the Turnaround — is an excellent starting point for your Seaside adventure. Begin your meander at the Seaside Visitors Bureau, where you can find plenty of parking and travel info. As you head west, explore this section of Broadway’s collection of locally owned boutique shops and eateries. Upper Broadway mixes with the Historic Gilbert District — the oldest surviving part of downtown. Stop in to grab a colorful bubble tea from Tea Artist or something a little hoppier from Seaside Brewery. Take a peek into SunRose Gallery to see the works of the North Coast’s talented artists, now located in the coastal- and Frenchinspired gift shop Bliss Mercantile & Brocante. Grab an afternoon read at Beach Books and pick up something for your fur friends at Beach Puppy. Browse away an afternoon finding treasures at the Seaside Antique Mall. If your exploring leaves you hungry, enjoy the freshly made rolls at Tora Sushi Lounge, spaghetti with the signature meatballs at Nonni’s Italian Bistro, or stuffed cabbage rolls and a Moscow mule at Capricorn Pub. For a jolt or a sweet treat, check out the wide variety of espresso drinks and pastries at Seaside Coffee House. Tora Sushi Lounge Play Games and Ride the Carousel Broadway is a hot spot for families seeking amusements old and new. Funland Seaside Arcade (201 Broadway) offers pinball, air hockey, Skee-Ball and that original American favorite Fascination, which has been delighting since the Roaring ’20s — it’s one of the only Fascination parlors remaining on the West Coast. You’ll find more arcade games, a laser-tag arena and the delightful antique carousel at the Seaside Carousel Mall (300 Broadway). Just around the block, Seaside Skooters (110 Broadway) is a go-to spot for miniature golf, bumper cars and a Tilt-A-Whirl. Head south of town for go-karts, mini golf and several rides at Captain Kid Amusement Park (2735 S. Roosevelt). Seaside Carousel What’s New in Seaside If you haven’t visited Seaside lately, you'll find some exciting changes. Promenade Inn & Suites Oceanfront sits on the Prom with luxury amenities and ocean views. Anyone needing a little help to get on to the sandy beaches will love Seaside's second Mobi-Mat location on Avenue U, with blue nonslip mats leading through the soft sand to the water. Try a curry at Thai Thai Fusion downtown or both Mexican- and American-style breakfast and dinner at Marivel's Kitchen on the south end. Browse the artwork at Beach Bum Laser Designs for engraved wall hangings and custom designs. Gardeners should not miss all the green growing at Earth in Hand, which offers houseplants and accessories.
