Sitting just south of Cannon Beach and only two hours from Portland, Manzanita, Oregon offers classic beach-town ambiance, pedestrian charm, and proximity to three outstanding state parks and an abundancy of recreational opportunities. Stroll the beach and enjoy the spectacular view of Neahkahnie Mountain to the north.

It was here that famed Oregon governor Oswald West was so inspired by the landscape that he declared that Oregon’s beaches should always remain free and open to all. Back in town, Manzanita packs in the culinary excellence with a delightful bakery, fine dining, wine, beer and gourmet groceries.

Rain or shine, exploring this awe-inspiring, forest-filled coastline by foot, bike, or horse, is an absolute favorite among Manzanita locals. Spot a bald eagle soaring overhead as you explore the trails at Alder Creek Farm or watch the gray whales swim the ocean’s shoreline during their migratory seasons.
