About Us:

Seaside Aquarium is one of the oldest aquariums on the West Coast. Founded in 1937, the aquarium is privately owned and the descendants of some of the founders are still active in the aquarium operation. The aquarium is proud to be involved in public awareness programs: Marine Mammal Stranding,  Seaside Beach Discovery Program, Sea Week, Haystack Rock Awareness Program,  the Wildlife Center of the North Coast and other marine education tours  and activities for school children.
