Stroll the beach and enjoy the spectacular view of Neahkahnie Mountain to the north. It was here that famed Oregon governor Oswald West was so inspired by the landscape that he declared that Oregon’s beaches should always remain free and open to all. Back in town, Manzanita packs in the culinary excellence with a delightful bakery, fine dining, wine, beer and gourmet groceries. Manzanita has an amazing setting, with the striking backdrop of Neahkahnie Mountain looming over its sandy beach. The Native Indian translation for Neahkahnie Mountain is "Viewpoint of the Gods", and the incredible vistas from this 1,680 foot mountain don't disappoint. There's a lot of mythology surrounding the area, with colorful tales of Spanish shipwreck treasure buried in the foothills of Neahkahnie Mountain.
