Imagine over 7 miles of pristine white sandy beach to be enjoyed while visiting Oregon and vacationing at your Manzanite vacation rental. Manzanita, located on the beach, is just one of 3 picturesque villages that make up the Nahalem Bay Area. The other 2 are called Nahalem, which is located on the river, and Wheeler which is situated on the bay. All three are charming and offer something special.
While staying at one of the Manzanita vacation homes, you can enjoy the ocean waters and lovely walks along the coast. You can also partake in browsing for antiques, shopping the quaint boutiques and viewing the art galleries. If you are more adventurous and enjoy the more active vacation, there are many outdoor sports to keep you busy like hiking, biking and kayaking. Here are just a few ideas for some outdoor sports that may be of interest to you, to be enjoyed during your vacation.
Oregon Beach Rides
If you are looking for something a little out of the norm, stop by Oregon Beach Rides to experience horseback riding along either the Pacific City or Nahalam Bay on the Oregon Coast. In the Nahalam Bay area, this horse riding facility can be easily found at the Nahalam Bay State Park in Manzanita.
Oregon Beach Rides is conveniently open year round and offers something for first time riders to the most experienced adults or children. You can trek down the beach on the back of a beautiful creature; travel through the Bay waters and around the sand dunes for a wonderful 2-hour excursion for only $110 per person. Perhaps you would prefer to venture out for only 1 hour instead, for only $95. A 2-hour Adventure for $150 will cover much more area and is appreciated by the more experienced rider. In fact, there are ½ day or full day riding trips also available.
Reservations are required in advance. Select an early morning run, a mid afternoon trot or a sunset ride, which is probably the most popular. This is one experience that you will be talking about for years to come. Be sure to ask about the 12-passenger carriage rides which are now available.
No matter which trail ride appeals to you and yours, you’re sure to have a blast! Keep your eyes open for seals, eagles, deer and elk as you venture out on the back of your beautiful horse. Don’t forget your camera!
