Nehalem Bay
Off US 101, 3 miles S of Manzanita Junction
Imagine waking up to the song of the seagull, taking a short walk over the dunes to the beach with your dog. Sit with a blanket and watch the sun set over the ocean in the shadow of Neah-Kah-Nie Mountain. .
Many visitors find the serenity of Nehalem Bay State Park to be the most attractive feature. If you look closer you'll find a lot of ways to keep busy, though. While you may enjoy the breathtaking view of the bay, your dog will probably prefer a walk along the beach or the 1.75 mile bike trail that circles the park airplane landing strip.
Small dog owners be sure to keep a close eye on your pup, in addition to deer and elk grazing near by it is not unusual to see a coyote crossing the road. The park is also graced with a variety of birds.
Afternoon or moonlit walks on the beach and down to the end of the jetty enhance the serenity of this park.
