Manzanita is a small coastal village on Oregon's north coast, south of Cannon Beach and at the foot of Neahkahnie Mountain. This spot offers a long fine sand beach bordered by Nehalem Bay to the south and the Neahkahnie cliffs to the north. The beach is exposed to North Pacific swells and benefits from reliable thermal winds in summer. The village atmosphere is quiet and residential, offering a peaceful setting for kite sessions.
