mer entertainment, an airstrip, a
horse camp, a boat launch, and
walking/running trails
.
You can also rent a traditional
bicycle, a beach ¨funcycle,¨ or
surfing gear from
Manzanita
Bikes & Boards
. The business
also offers free use of Beach
Wheelchairs for those who find
accessing the beach.
Manzanita also offers a private
gym that allows drop-ins, and a
stand up
paddleboard
company
that offers lessons and guided
tours.
If you are in the mood for shop-
ping, Manzanita can deliver! Its
many shops line
Laneda Av-
enue
and
Manzanita Avenue
,
and range from an environmen-
tally sustainable clothing bou-
tique to a shop offering yarn,
and gifts.
Manzanita Sweets
(pg 47) is a must stop to grab
that great treat for all ages rang-
ing from locally made taffy and
chocolates to your classic vin-
tage flavors.
Slightly off the beaten path, lo-
cated south of the city and next
to
Nehalem Bay State Park
, is
CARTM
, a nonprofit organiza-
tion operating a one-stop recy-
cling center that accepts more
than 40 types of materials,
re-
use thrift store
, and transfer
station. No visit to Manzanita
is complete without a stop at
CARTM.
Check the schedule of another
local nonprofit, the
Hoffman
Center
, which is based in down-
town Manzanita. It hosts artists,
writers, and other creative types
at readings, workshops, and oth-
er events year-round. It also of-
fers a
clay studio
that is open to
the public.
Play a round at the
Manzani-
ta Golf Course
, which is open
year-round. It features 9 holes, a
pro club, a snack bar and a near-
by driving range.
In the evening, have din-
ner or appetizers at one of the
city´s restaurants, such as the
Big Wave Cafe
(pg 44), which
serves breakfast, lunch and din-
ner, where Chef Brian Williams
is always preparing something
sure to appeal to visitors and lo-
cals alike.
Finally, retire for the night in
one of the area´s many lodging
motels, bed-and-breakfasts, or
vacation rentals. The
San Dune
Inn
(pg 40), for instance, is lo-
cated in the heart of downtown,
and offers a unique blend of
English and Southern hospital-
ity, thanks to owners Brian and
Billie Hines, who hail from those
parts of the world respectively.
Or relax at the
Zen Garden Bed
& Breakfast
(pg 38) for the all
inclusive feel.
Oswald West State Park
is lo-
cated a few miles north of Man-
zanita, off Highway 101. In ad-
dition to a number of trails that
wind through a temperate rain
forest, the park offers access to a
Short Sands beach
, a cove shel-
tered fromwind. There are picnic
tables scattered throughout the
wooded property. The park also
makes for a convenient starting
point for hikes to
Falcon Head
and the
Oregon Coast Trail
.
Be sure if you’re visiting in the
summer to look for the
Manza-
nita Farmers Market
that runs
every Friday from June through
September on Laneda Avenue.
