Jon Rahl is working to promote recreational activities beyond Seaside, Oregon's famous beach. He is building partnerships with local organizations and deepening knowledge of area attractions. Rahl created a short instructional video about Seaside's new kayak launch that generated over 11,000 views on social media. While the full effects are still unknown, the video has already inspired some regular visitors to buy kayaks and consider moving to Seaside full-time. Rahl sees this as part of an ongoing effort to develop Seaside's natural areas and establish its identity as a destination beyond just the beach.
