Hike along the beautiful sea shore just next to the lovely town of Seaside and off the beaten path of the Promenade. Keep your eyes peeled for sand dollars and big orange star fish that get washed along the shore of the Pacific Ocean. This section on the Columbia Beach is part of the Oregon Coast Trail (OCT), a long-distance trail that connects the stunning beaches of the state.

Great beach to take off your shoes and wiggle your toes in the sand. The Promenade can be busy with pedestrians and cyclists, and strolling along the waves off the path is an excellent way to enjoy the Pacific Ocean and the sounds of the seagulls. Keep an eye out for sand dollars while enjoying the small beach town of Seaside. This portion of Columbia Beach is part of 28 coastal towns along the Oregon Coast Trail (OCT), where hikers cross sandy beaches, make their way through lush forest corridors and traverse majestic headlands in the Pacific Northwest.

The Oregon Coast Trail (OCT) is a long-distance hiking trail along the Pacific coast of the US state of Oregon. Follows the Oregon coast from the mouth of the Columbia River to the California border south of Brookings.

The trail was founded in 1959 by Samuel N. Dicken, a University of Oregon geography professor, approved by the Oregon Recreation Trails Advisory Council in 1971, and developed and managed by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department as part of Oregon's state parks system. The official coast guide gives a length of 382 miles (615 km). About 39 percent of the route is on the beach, 41 percent is on paved roads and 20 percent is on hiking and dirt trails. However, private ferries can be arranged at some river mouths to shorten stretches of road. Walked in its entirety, connecting each hiking/beach section, the distance is approximately 425 miles.
