Manzanita
Manzanita is a secluded seaside community with only a few more than 500 full-time residents. It's on a sandy peninsula peppered with tufts of grass on the northwestern side of Nehalem Bay, a popular windsurfing destination. It is a tranquil small town, but its restaurants, galleries, and 18-hole golf course have increased its appeal to tourists.
