Manzanita is about a 15 minute drive south of Cannon Beach. If you go to Manzanita, you must visit Cannon Beach as well. Cannon Beach has an amazing beach with Haystack Rock, and lots of restaurants and shops. Manzanita only has a few. The reason people go to Manzanita instead of Cannon Beach is because it is way less crowded, especially on the weekends and holidays. If you are ok with only a few restaurant options, Manzanita is very beautiful with a very long uncrowded beach. Be aware when traveling to the Oregon Coast, the water is very cold and rough. It is not a place for swimming or sunbathing. It is wild and rugged. It is great for beach combing, tide pools, walks and hikes, and photography and exploration.
