Short Sand BeachBeach3.4 mi from Manzanita▾
A sheltered cove beach nicknamed "Shorty's" within Oswald West State Park on the Oregon coast, reached by a half-mile walk through coastal forest. It's a popular surf spot framed by volcanic basalt and sandstone cliffs.
Arcadia BeachBeach8.5 mi from Manzanita▾
A state recreation site on the Oregon coast two miles south of Cannon Beach, with a mile-long stretch of sand between two headlands, Humbug Point to the north and Hug Point to the south. Visitors come for beachcombing and tide pooling, and under the right conditions the beach's fine sand produces a squeaking "singing sands" sound underfoot.
Chapman BeachBeach12.9 mi from Manzanita▾
A quieter stretch of shoreline just north of Cannon Beach, Oregon, running between Chapman Point and Silver Point. Reachable by crossing Ecola Creek near Les Shirley Park, it's known for tide pools, seabird colonies at nearby Bird Rocks, and far fewer crowds than the main Cannon Beach strand.
