Great beer and rooftop if you want to take yourself on a self guided brewery tour! Astoria is very cute!
About 10-15 minutes from Gearheart, Seaside has a cute downtown, shopping, beaches, and Blake and I recommend Seaside Brewing for a beer or a snack!
Visit iconic Haystack Rock, hike or walk around in Ecola State Park, visit hug point, and more! https://www.cannonbeach.org/things-to-do/beaches-and-parks/haystack-rock/
If you are staying at McMenamins your room comes with a free bike rental! Make sure you let them know you plan to use it! There are a ton of paths right from the condos and hotel that we recommend, many are along side the beach! Depending on how packed the sand is, you can also ride them down the beach!
There is an outlet mall if you want to shop for fun (or if you forgot something!) between Seaside and Gearhart! https://www.seasideoutlets.com/
There is a really cool aquarium to check out. Pre book tickets and coordinate with other guests! Great for adults or for anyone who brought the kiddos/babysitters along with them! http://www.seasideaquarium.com/
For our adventurous guests, there are scenic helicopter tours you can do over the Oregon Coast. Check pricing and availability online, this would be a good activity to pre-book! seaside-helicopters.com
Think of an adult wipe out course/jungle gym. This is for some folks who want to climb, zip line and jump into foam pits. It looks AWESOME. Recommended to pre-book! https://www.highlifeadventurepark.com/
