Originally a summer community for the Portland gentry, Seaview’s quiet tree-lined streets invite strollers to enjoy turn-of-the-century Victorian homes which are survivors of a developer’s plans from the 1880s.
Seaview was once a depot on the Clamshell Railroad, the narrow gauge “train that ran with the tides” that went up and down the Long Beach Peninsula from 1889 to 1930. The Seaview depot still stands, one of only two remaining stations. Now an excellent restaurant (The Depot), visitors can enjoy a bit of history and a fine meal inside its red walls on what is now the main beach approach in Seaview (aka 38th Street).
