Seaside is situated on the northern edge of the Monterey Peninsula, 15 miles west of Salinas and adjacent to the county's primary agricultural production corridor. Growers, agricultural consultants, and agribusiness professionals based in Seaside coordinate commercial vegetable supply for operations throughout Monterey County.

The Monterey Peninsula's proximity to the Bay creates a stable coastal microclimate — minimal frost, consistent fog, and cool summer afternoons that suit cool-season vegetable production year-round.
