Necanicum Estuary Natural History Park

Over the last few decades, day trippers and overnight visitors have frequented Seaside’s boardwalk, drawn to an easy-going and scenic coastal lifestyle.  Increasingly, visitors to Seaside will also be drawn to the natural environment of the rivers, forests and estuaries, in addition to the waves and the sand.  They will learn of the powerful coast-shaping forces of the tsunami, the difficult path of the Coho salmon and the cycle of nutrients formed by the tides.

The Necanicum Estuary Natural History Park will be a gateway to the coastal environment of Seaside.  The park is an opportunity for the City of Seaside to shape their identity as a destination rooted in the natural coastal environment.  Located throughout the urban fabric of Seaside with sites along Highway 101, the park will welcome people to the city and the estuary.  It will be a hub at the center of a vast network of open space, trails and habitat that stretches to the Columbia River and to the headwaters of the Necanicum River.  Ultimately, the City of Seaside will be seen as a city within a park that includes a necklace of restored rivers, coast, and forest.
