Known for their sourdough, Wolf Moon Bakery is a small, hard-to-find and rarely-open gem but it will not disappoint if you find a way to get there. Pro tip: they're often at the farmer's markets in surrounding towns. They also sell coffee beans. Technically in Nehalem, just south and east of Manzanita.

Perhaps the best restaurant between Tillamook and Astoria. The views and the drinks are also divine. Peek their IG for more. Limited hours – Saturday (or lunch on Sunday) are the times that would work for this crew/our travel dates. But it's worth the drive from Kramers if you venture out before we stay out on the coast (it's located two hours from Oakmont Court, or 45 minutes from our rental houses).

If you're looking for the best fish and chips in all of Oregon, here's your spot. (The coleslaw is also amazing.) Check open hours before making the drive. Website: https://www.facebook.com/riversidefishnchips/ Address: 35915 Hwy. 101 N., Nehalem, OR, United States, 97131 Phone: (503) 368-3344

Offshore Grill is one of the best restaurant cafes in this stretch of the coast. Check their hours before visiting! Coffee: 7 AM to 4 PM Lunch: 11 AM to 3 PM Dinner: 4 PM to 8 PM Wednesday – Sunday (closed Monday and Tuesday)

Golf, anyone? The Manzanita Links are mellow and less crowded, about 40-45 minutes south of the rental houses.
