This breakfast place replaced the Blackbird restaurant a couple years ago and is a hit in Manzanita. They specialize in egg scrambles and they make a point of not over cooking the eggs. Very scrumptious, great atmosphere vegetarian options. They have less traditional options and give Wanda's a run for her money

Very good cod fish and chips out of a food trailer in downtown Nehalem behind the shops on the river side. There is a boardwalk entrance in between shops to enter and there is a sign and foot steps to lead you. Picnic tables by the river and frankly some of the best fish and chips you'll experience. check out their Yelp reviews!

This is a favorite among locals and guests. Home made soups and ice cream. Excellent food for lunch and since it is all home made, tasty with unique flavors and goodies it's worth it among the foodies.

Nothing fancy, very basic. I'm very particular about my Mexican and Italian food having lived in Italy and Texas so I just don't go for a chain restaurant taste.

Home to the famous Octopus Tree and Cape Meares Lighthouse. Tours for lighthouse in summer season only. Great spot to catch the grey whale migration in December and March(?) Need to google for when the whales are moving. Need binoculars, they're 'moving' not playing and breaching as much as they do when at home in Alaska or Puget sound.

2.5 mile hike one way to the prime lookout for whale migration. This trail is not appropriate for hyper dogs or small children. It has an alpine feel a quarter mile in with no fencing. As with many mountain trails its super important to be away of where you are walking and be courteous to groups going in the opposite direction. single file and moving as far right as possible for others to pass. If you are not hiking savvy just be a little more alert than usual. It's not so difficult a trail that a beginner can't do it. Well maintained trail for summer use or drier days. Spots can get soggy during wet season and need good boots for that.

Groceries
Convenient, right off Hwy 101 and Manzanita Ave across the street from yellow building with the Home made pies! Manzanita Ave is parallel to Laneda Ave and these are the main streets in and out of Manzanita village. Fresh Foods is the larger chain store. Not budget friendly but well stocked enough with walk in coolers for beer and wine and a fresh meat seafood counter.

Family owned, smaller store than Fresh Foods but don't let that fool you! This little gem is well stocked with a yummy deli to get a sandwich to order or try a variety of salads, casseroles and baked chicken. Still, coastal prices, some sticker shock may occur.

Groceries are expensive on the coast. If you plan to cook full meals and have a cooler with ice packs, buy groceries before leaving west Portland area.
