If you need something overnighted, packages sent! Drive to this location! Family oriented, fast, kind, extremely hard working employees! The treat your package like it matters! It does, but how many places truly have CustomerService anymore? Today is the last day of regular shipping! And the line is 20 people deep. Everyone is happy to wait. They know that they are going to get amazing one on one service. And they do!! If your driving up the Oregon Coast and need to ship stuff home. This is where you want to bring your packages. I remember when all of the Post Offices were like this one. They are the place to go! Kudos !

Not fancy but clean, inexpensive and overlooks the beach with beach access right there at the motel. What's not to like. There is a thing with me and when we stay on the coast. I will find out how close we are to Rockaway Beach,Oregon because I love a good corn dog and The Best Place In The World To Get A Fabulous And Delicious Cornfog Is In ROCKAWAY BEACH, OREGON! Ladies and gentlemen, I give you PRONTO PUP The original. Ya, suvk it other establishments. People say to me, have you tried the corn dogs at (Insert a crappy corndog establishment name here.) ? Rarely is it the name of a place I haven't tried and yes, they all suck In one way or another. There is nothing better than eating a great corndog, next to the woman of your dreams, sipping a soda, out of the beach wind, in the car, looking the beautiful Oregon ocean. We'll, you can add, teasing the seagulls that flock the vehicle and watch you eat. Yes we feed them. No you shouldn't but I can't help it. Oh my gosh. I forgot about the Vintage Train Rides that start in Rockaway Beach. Wait. I shouldn't be telling anyone this information. Forget everything you've read here. Rockaway Beach isn't fun. The beaches are too clean and smooth. The sun can be hot and sometimes it rains. Stay away!

The place looked fun, although it's obviously not a tourist mecca. I wish we had taken the earlier train so we could explore more. We were there in late August. The air was chilly, the water was chilly, but the sand was pretty warm. It was very overcast too, so I'm not sure how the sand got so warm.

There is a food truck serving burgers and shaved ice next door and a little restaurant that is open for lunch or an early dinner. If you buy kites at Flamingo Jim's this is the perfect place to fly them. There is also a faucet maybe two to wash off sandy feet. That last part is super important.

Love visiting here!…read more We have been coming here for years. Located in Garibaldi Oregon you will find this little gem. The turn off can, be a bit hard to find but if you use Google maps it will easily steer you in the right direction. The parking lot is big with lots of spots. This cool little pier takes you out to the bay. There are spots where you can crab and fish off. At the end there used to be a store but it is now gated off. There is also a little rocky beach that you can explore at the bottom of the pier. It gets quite windy here so make sure to bring a jacket and hold on to your hat before it blows away. Once out on the pier the view is nothing short of spectacular. You get a 360-degree view of the bay and surrounding area. Every few years we always make our way back here for a little bit of nostalgia and the breathtaking view.

The attendant at the Manzanita Post Office , I believe her name is Carolyn is quite efficient ,…read morehelpful and professional. I visit Manzanita annually and use the Post Office while there to shop gifts and correspondence. Carolyn is exceptionally knowledgeable. This past year I had planned to send a package home and she alerted me that I did not have the Flat Rate Box but instead an International box - They look the very same - yet in small red print the boxes are labeled so one can identify the difference if astute. As I did not want to pay 7.00 more than necessary she helped me find the correct box and it was shipped out Flat Rate at 7.00 less! Unfortunately a few days earlier , I did not get the same help at a nearby postoffice and had inadvertently used an International Box. That package was sent out at the higher rate as at that time I was unaware of the similarity in boxes and the attendant there did not address the difference or take the time to provide the assistance that I was given at Manzanita. Both post offices are in busy coastal communities and are conveniently located , however I give much higher marks to Manzanita. Thank You Carolyn !

These sandstone rock formations are roughly 20-30 millions year old. This area is also an Historical Site were Lt. Theodore Talbot camped during his exploration of the Yaquine Bay. This area is acessible only during "low" tide. There are no safe parking areas near the rock formation, so it is highly recommended to drive past the formation and to park near the intersection at Harborview Drive. From here you can find access to the beach. Enjoy !

I thought the best part was Cape Meares, with the lighthouse and octopus tree. Cape Lookout, you would have to hike to see any of the lookouts, and Cape Kiwanda was the busiest, which is near Pacific City. Cape Meares has the prettiest views; and the squat lighthouse and octopus tree are must see unique attractions on this loop.
