The beach is absolutely stunning with its pristine white sand and crystal clear waters. The walk to the water is a gentle stroll, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the peaceful surroundings. It's worth noting that dogs are welcome, but please remember to keep them on a leash to ensure everyone's safety.

I highly suggest taking a moment to admire the stunning panoramic view of the beach from the lookout before making your way down to the sandy shores. It's important to note that there are prominent signs advising against driving onto the beach without a 4-wheel drive vehicle. There is street parking available near the main entrance for your convenience.

This lovely beach is a perfect destination for a leisurely stroll. With an abundance of jellyfish and shells, there is plenty to discover and explore. We stumbled upon this hidden gem while waiting for our family to arrive for lunch. Although parking may be a bit challenging due to the narrow road, it is still manageable. The short trail leading to the beach is easy to navigate, making access a breeze. The beach is teeming with life, from seaweed to various types of shells. It was an enjoyable experience, and the best part was that it was not nearly as crowded as other popular beaches like Cannon or Seaside. This beach is worth the trip!

This quaint little beach town in Oregon was the perfect spot for my first adult vacation with my future husband. We had both been on family trips before, but this was different. We felt free to do whatever we wanted without anyone telling us no. And when we stumbled upon Manzanita, we knew we had found something special. The beach was pristine and not overcrowded, the little stores were charming, and we even stumbled upon a festival. It was the perfect place for us to relax and enjoy each other's company. I'll never forget the memories we made there, even though he's no longer with me. But I still make a point to visit every few years and relive those precious moments. Thank you, Manzanita, for being our little slice of paradise. ❤️

I am absolutely enamored with this beach. The access road offers ample parking and there are multiple pathways leading down to the shoreline. Despite its popularity, the beach was not overly crowded, allowing for a peaceful and enjoyable experience. The sunset was truly breathtaking and the surrounding area boasts an array of delicious food options.
