About Manzanita

Tucked along the northern Oregon coast beneath the forested slopes of Neahkahnie Mountain, Manzanita has the feel of a quiet, relaxed beach retreat. With around 600 full-time residents, the community moves at an easy pace throughout the year. Daily life centers on Laneda Avenue, a walkable main street filled with local bakeries, cafes, and bookshops that leads straight down to miles of open, sandy shoreline.

Living here means having outdoor recreation right outside your door, from hiking trails at Oswald West State Park to paddleboarding on Nehalem Bay. The town offers a peaceful setting away from highway congestion, while US 101 provides quick access to neighboring coastal towns for errands, and Portland sits about two hours east over the Coast Range.
