The Magic of Manzanita

Tight Knit Community

Manzanita was formed as a beach resort in 1912. However, with neighboring Rockaway Beach and Seaside to the north, the area has gone largely unnoticed, leaving the town to be a pristine escape. 
 

Natural Wonders Abound

Home to Neahkahnie Mountain and Nehalem Bay State Park, Manzanita boasts some of the most beautiful Oregon scenery right in its backyard. You can find many trails through the areas, with wildlife around every corner.
 

Escape the Crowds

As one of the least populated areas on Oregon’s North Coast, Manzanita has a lot of potential for growth as other coastal towns experience an influx of attention. If you’re looking for an escape from the hustle and bustle, Manzanita is your town.
