20 Things to do in Seaview

Jul 7, 2022 | Family Fun

Seaview offers a peaceful beach experience. Lined with historic Victorian and Craftsman homes as well as beach cabins, it’s a pleasant place to simply take a stroll. But there are other things to do in Seaview too!

With several gourmet restaurants, wellness offerings, and plenty of places to simply breathe, this little village may become your favorite beach escape.

 

1. Take a relaxing stroll along the Discovery Trail.

The portion of the Discovery Trail running through Seaview is a peaceful, sweet-smelling stretch of dunes and shore pines. View the map here for access points.

 

2. Eat at the award-winning Depot Restaurant.

Once a train station on the Clamshell Railroad, this historic building now houses the award-winning Depot Restaurant. You’ll be dreaming of their mouthwatering dishes long after you return home. Reservations are recommended.

 

3. Sit around a fire on the beach.

The simplicity of sitting fireside with family and friends while watching a sunset on the beach is hard to beat. Don’t forget to bring folding chairs and blankets!

Know before you go: read up on rules and beach safety. Check for burn bans here.

 

4. Lettuce eat! Stop by Molly’s Station.  

Stop by this local sandwich shop with indoor and outdoor dining, plus a full train layout!

 

5. Spot bald eagles.

Bald eagles are commonly spotted along the beach. We recommend bringing a camera and a pair of binoculars.

8. Enjoy a picnic on the beach.

Pack a lunch and take it easy! There are no picnic tables at the Seaview beach approach, so be sure to bring along a picnic blanket.

 

9. Visit in the spring for giant rhododendrons!

Plan a trip in April to see the giant rhododendrons in Seaview. Many of these historic rhodies grow as tall as the houses and come in all colors.

 

10. Enjoy some IPA at North Jetty Brewing

11. Go beachcombing.

Beachcombing is a favorite pastime on the peninsula. The best time to go is after a big storm sweeps through, or join the Grass Roots Garbage Gang for one of the yearly community beach cleanups.

The cozy 42nd Street Cafe & Bistro has an incredible menu for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. They use many seasonal ingredients, locally sourced seafood, and real butter. Yum!

15. Catch a concert at Sou’wester

Enjoy live music in the beautiful, historic Sou’wester Lodge whether or not you’re staying there! Check their calendar to see who’s playing.
