Manzanita Beach

31 Laneda Ave (beach access), Manzanita, OR 97130

A wide, 7-mile stretch of soft sand at the foot of Neahkahnie Mountain — laid-back, no-stoplight beach town consistently ranked among the prettiest on the Oregon Coast. Dog-friendly culture (annual "Muttzanita" festival), zero commercial sprawl, and great sunset surf without the Cannon Beach crowds.
