Discover Manzanita

With expansive sandy beaches, conifer-covered coastal mountains, and wayward waterways, Manzanita is the perfect place to enjoy crisp Pacific Ocean air along the beautiful Oregon Coast.

Take to the trails that wind along or spend some time on the water. There are numerous options for kayaking, boating, or even standup paddle boarding available.

For the angler, catch an opportunity to wrangle a Dungeness crab, go after some bay clams, or cast a line for an elusive wild silver salmon. Manzanita has it all.

Visit local wineries that specialize in a wide variety of vintages, from local blackberry-flavored dessert wines to the classic chardonnay, pinot gris, noir, and cabernet sauvignon, or enjoy a stroll through a museum or art gallery.

Take a drive to the sublime viewpoints of Neah-Kah-Nie Mountain and watch endless waves wash over the shore. Visit seasonal farmers’ markets, pet-friendly festivals, and various shopping ventures held throughout the year.

Along the Shore

The beach is the primary draw, of course, but Manzanita attractions extend well past the sandy dunes. Museums and cultural sites can keep you exploring for hours.

Visit Wheeler and pedal your way up the seldom-used railroad on a custom-built rail bike, visit a quaint local winery that specializes in dessert-quality vintages or visit the upper Nehalem River for swimming, fishing, and exploring.

Take in trails with unforgettable views, then camp in a yurt at a local state campground or launch balls down the range at a golf course that’s off the beaten path

Embrace the Manzanita area’s rich and vibrant history by seeing some sites that have stood the test of time.

Check out Manzanita’s original public meeting house, learn about nearby Nehalem’s longtime standing as a tribal place of trade, fishing and culture and see the old pilings still jutting out of Nehalem Bay that were once the area’s backbone during its logging days.
