Rockaway Beach. Manzanita. Beach combing, hiking, biking, kite-flying, boogie-boarding, surfing, golfing, shopping, dining, site seeing and much more! Walk the romantic sandy beach. Rockaway Beach has one of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen. The amazing Oregon Coast will pull on your "soul strings" and beg to stay longer!We were delighted at the things Manzanita has to offer. Manzanita got our beach break vacation of to a great start. Manzanita has restaurants, quaint shops, churches, and a recreation center. The kids loved playing on the sandy Manzanita Beach, they were free to fly kites, and build a sand castle or run with their dog. I loved browsing the Manzanita shops, visited the Manzanita Library, and found a great driftwood seat, at the oceans edge, listening to the Pacific Ocean is so romantic, and just spent a free and lazy day in the Manzanita sun. Not all vacation rental homes welcome pets, but this one is pet friendly! Our dog loved being with us at Manzanita Beach. Manzanita Beach is a great place to walk your dog.
