Manzanita, Oregon

Thursday July 15, 2010

We came across a road sign we liked after leaving Garibaldi. :-)

I thought the highway ran through Manzanita (Spanish for 'little apple') but it doesn't - at least not any more. So, we took a little detour down to see it.

Manzanita is halfway between Tillamook and Seaside, Oregon.

It has lots of sand - nice sand. I wouldn't mind living there... except maybe for the wind factor.

One end of the beach stops at Neahkahnie Mountain. I hadn't realized that this was the beach we were looking down on from the viewpoint on the mountain that morning.

Hotel del Coronado - the beach

Friday October 2, 2009

Too bad it wasn't a sparkling day like it was when we first saw this beach on Tuesday. It was so bright and inviting then. The trolley driver told us this beach is rated #4 in the US... the first three being in Hawaii (2) and Florida (1).

The Beach Village rooms are more expensive, I think, than the main hotel rooms of the Hotel del Coronado. They probably go in the $600-$1400 a night range.
