Manzanita and North Coast Weekend Explorations

By Living Room Realty, April 1, 2022

When visiting Manzanita, there are many local activities to enjoy. Naturally the most obvious is the great outdoors. There are numerous hiking trails, beaches to explore, boat rentals, fishing, crabbing, etc. Just south of town, The Lower Nehalem Community Trust has a great local farm and garden to explore. If the hiking and history are not your thing, there is surfing, kite boarding, jet skis and more outdoor water activities.

On the opposite end of the spectrum there are numerous art centers. The Hoffman Center has continuous local art exhibits and a clay studio. CARTM has an annual rehoming art show at the Pine Grove. In addition there are several local galleries sprinkled along Laneda Avenue the main street through town. The current show at the Hoffman Center for the Arts has Oregon Painters Landscapes to Modernism from 1859-1959. This exhibit is a must see for folks interested in regional fine art and history. As a side note on history, the Lewis and Clark Museum in Warrenton is a must see in my book. The have a good collection of historical guns, dress and tools. They feature a short film on the Lewis and Clark expedition and have recreated a small village that replicates the original village created by the settlers. You can even see a live demonstration of how gun powder was used to fire muskets.

If you really are just here to relax, enjoy sitting outdoors and have a drink at the Manzanita Winery, McGregors Whiskey Bar, Lighthouse or San Dune patios. Sometimes it feels good just to sit on the beach, people watch, build a fire, watch the sunset, eagles and whales migrating. Here at Living Room we welcome visitors so if you have questions about this little bit of paradise, just stop by and ask. Dave Leach, Broker Living Room Realty 503-704-0946
