Manzanita offers easy coastal living with a broad, walkable beach, an active main street, and quick access to wild headlands. The seven-mile shoreline functions as the town’s front yard for morning runs, tidepooling, and kite-flying, while Laneda Avenue supplies cafes, galleries, and surf gear. Stay up to date on services and city events via the City of Manzanita. Just south, Nehalem Bay State Park brings paved bike paths, a boat ramp, equestrian trails, and family-friendly camping; to the north, Oswald West State Park leads to panoramic hikes on Neahkahnie Mountain and secluded coves. Day trips are simple, with neighboring Nehalem and Rockaway Beach, arts-focused Cannon Beach, and the wider resources of Tillamook County all close by.
Families appreciate the Neah-Kah-Nie School District, which serves local students from elementary through high school and supports strong outdoor learning and arts programs. Summer brings a lively farmers market and long-light evenings perfect for beach fires; year-round, a 9-hole golf course and community events add to the calendar. Housing options range from pine-shaded cottages to contemporary homes with ocean or bay outlooks, and many streets offer quick footpaths to the sand. Whether you’re relocating full-time or seeking a second home with rental potential, Manzanita delivers a relaxed pace with memorable natural beauty.
