#5- The Cove in Seaside
The Cove is exactly what it is named after in that it is a medium sized cove with large rocks which always seems to have an aggressive surf. These rocks are pounded by the incoming waves and the ocean shelf there provides for some big waves at that. You will regularly find surfers taking advantage of these impressive waves as pictured to the left. One of the great benefits of
this hidden spot is that there is a large parking lot that directly overlooks the cove so there is no need to even get out of the car, which is nice if it is raining. In fact, the best time to visit this spot is during a storm as the ocean really gets rolling and produces some of the largest waves to be seen in the area. It is also a great place to take a break from downtown Seaside, grab some particularly greasy fast food, and relax to a spectacular scenic treat. To get there turn west on Avenue U in Seaside, the first traffic light you come to if entering Seaside from the south, or the last after you go through Seaside and are about to exit coming from the north. Then turn left on Sunset Blvd. When you see the ocean you'll see the parking spots.
Jeremy's Insider Tips-
If you plan to get out bring a light jacket as it is usually windy here, a camera, and some binoculars if you have some. As mentioned above, it is a great place to have a snack from the comfort of your car.
