Fall into Winter Magic

Manzanita, Oregon: Fall Into Winter Magic

From October through December, Manzanita slows down in the best way. Autumn paints the coastal forest in deep golds and rust, and the long stretch of beach becomes wide open and peaceful. October is a favorite for storm watching—dramatic skies and rolling surf set the stage for cozy evenings by the fire.

November brings crisp mornings and quiet walks along Neahkahnie Mountain trails, where you can spot migrating birds and catch glimpses of whales offshore. It’s also the season for hearty meals: local farm-to-table restaurants and the Manzanita Farmers Market’s fall bounty make it easy to enjoy the flavors of the coast.

By December, the town sparkles with holiday lights. Shops and galleries offer unique gifts, and the community comes together for festive events and coastal traditions. Whether you come for a reflective retreat, a romantic getaway, or simply to breathe in the salty air, Manzanita in late fall and early winter is full of beauty, calm, and connection.
