Art and Theater in Seaside, Oregon

Arts and Theater on the North Coast

Seaside / Cannon Beach / Gearhart /

Arch Cape / Manzanita

The greatest attraction of Seaside, Cannon Beach, and Gearhart Oregon is, of course, the beach, along with all the other fantastic outdoor activities the area features. But what if the weather outside is frightful and cabin fever is setting in? Not to worry! There are plenty of things to do indoors on the North Coast. With diverse art galleries, state-of-the-art movie theaters, and several live theater options, there is no reason to be bored during a Seaside Sou-wester! Here is a sampling of local theatres and galleries.
