This family's experience:

Activities: We visited Manzanita and enjoyed the beautiful sandy beaches, and the tranquil atmosphere of the town. We also visited Nehalem Bay State Park, which has four miles of uninterrupted sandy beach along the Pacific Coast, as well as access to the calm waters of Nehalem Bay and extensive bike trails

Highlights: The kids loved playing on the beach and exploring the tide pools. We enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere of Manzanita and the beautiful views of the coastline. It was nice to be in a quieter town after the hustle and bustle of Seaside and Cannon Beach ✨
