Seaside is also a very popular surfing destination for people worldwide. Thousands of people from Portland a neighboring city and almost half the residents in Seaside either skate or surf. Despite the storms and rain the waves consistency provide fun almost year around.

Yeah, the dot on the county map _really_ indicates where Seaside is. Could it be any more difficult to tell? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.68.70.186 (talk • contribs) 13:44, July 25, 2006.

[edit] POV info moved from main page

Every summer the population of Seaside increases double. And theyre there for one thing only- The Beach! When theyre at the beach they want to play in the water and the place they go is the Seaside Surf Shop located on the main highway coming into town. They have wetsuits, surfboards, and bodyboards for familys to rent and enjoy. For the less adventurous, you can go to the Prom Bike Shop and rent bicycles to cruise around town. The Fourth of July is the peak of the season and everything speeds up from there. The hiking up on the Tillamook head is insane and fun. Theres an Arcade downtown that you can take the kids to, it has bumper cars video games, taffy parlors, elephant ears, you name it.

The way this is currently written, it is unencyclopedic, sounds like original research, uses the wrong person (second person), and sounds like an advertisement for the surf shop and bike shop. Please read about what Wikipedia is not so you can understand what we are looking for. In a nutshell: Wikipedia is not a tourist guide, and we strive to maintain a neutral point of view, which means leaving out words like "insane" and "fun". Thanks. Katr67 19:14, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
