Manzanita City Park is a lovely city park that is (mostly) hidden from view…read more No mention of it on the city's website, so I hope I am not blowing a small town secret. It has a little bit of everything including a play structure, sand volleyball and tennis courts, and a few shaded tables. Most importantly, there are bathrooms. This park is a few blocks off the main street at the intersection of Pacific Avenue and South Third Street. It would be a nice starting point for family activities in the area or to take a break from the beach and the crowds of Laneda Avenue. It is just a block from Carmel Avenue which has the city's bike path. There is limited parking and it definitely feels like a neighborhood activity center with many arriving on foot or bike.

Ronin was kind enough to open his dojo at a non-typical time and host an open mat session just so I could train while I was in town! He was able to gather 8 or 9 people to come in for the open mat. This man is about as OG / old school as it gets, a great representation of classic martial arts, with authentic and deep knowledge of the arts. Highly recommend this gym for any locals looking to get into martial arts or anyone passing through looking for a gym to train at. As someone who has trained BJJ for over 10 years and trained at dozens of different gyms, many good and many bad, I can attest that Ronin is legit and his crew will take care of you if you decide to train with them. I will be back!

(I'd give 10 stars if I could!)…read more We had an absolutely incredible experience at High Life Adventure Park! We brought four kids ranging in age from 10 to 15, and every one of us had an amazing time. We were rushing to make our 5:30 reservation, and of course all the kids needed a restroom break before we could get started. The staff couldn't have been more accommodating. They were patient with our delay, welcoming from the moment we arrived, and even added extra time to our reservation so we wouldn't miss out on any of the fun. The safety training was excellent--thorough, easy to understand, and confidence-inspiring. We all felt completely safe before heading onto the course. What really set this place apart was the staff. As the kids started their first challenges, the team was right there encouraging them, cheering them on, and helping them build confidence. Some of our group were a little timid at first, and the staff went above and beyond to help them succeed. One of the highlights of the day was watching our 10-year-old daughter face a challenge that had her scared and nearly in tears. She was convinced she couldn't do one of the obstacles. Dale stepped right in, got out on the course with her, encouraged her, made it fun, and even adjusted an obstacle closer to help her gain confidence. Before long, she was completing it on her own. Watching her realize she could do something she thought was impossible was priceless. By the end of the day, her confidence had grown tremendously. Later, when the older kids moved on to more advanced courses, our youngest teamed up with her big brother. He would run a course above while she followed below, and it was so fun to watch them tackle the challenges together. Noah was absolutely fantastic as well. She stayed close so she never felt alone on the course, anticipated which challenges our girl would enjoy next, and was always there when a more difficult obstacle was coming up. Dale kept everyone laughing with his silly dad jokes and impressive rope tricks, making the entire experience even more memorable. We also loved hearing about the history of the building and Dale's logging background--it added a unique and personal touch to the adventure. This wasn't just an aerial challenge course; it was an experience that built confidence, created family memories, and made everyone feel supported and successful. The staff is truly exceptional, and they are the reason this place stands out. I'd give High Life Adventure Park a 10-star rating if I could. We can't wait to come back!

I spent close to $1,000 at this clinic trying to get treatment for an ear infection, hair loss,…read moresleeplessness, and anxiety. The doctor didn't offer any solutions to my problems. She actually suggested I chew gum to aid my ear infection (after she'd looked in my ear and said, "Wow - I've never seen anything like that before."). She also said I should take sudafed, but because she's a naturopath, she's unable to prescribe it. She basically can't offer treatment that's beyond what your mom might have offered when you were a kid - but she'll charge you an arm and a leg for it. When you go to a doctor, you don't expect to be told that there's something wrong but they have no idea how to help you, and they don't even take the time to give you a referral...and then they charge you $300. For the anxiety issue, she said I could take a lavender supplement, but she said it wasn't something they had - and she said it wasn't something I could order myself, because I couldn't trust the quality of what I might receive. So - that was a dead end. No solutions were offered for my hair loss (I'm a 42 year old woman who has lost 1/4 of her hair - seems like that's worth paying attention to) or sleeplessness (other than "go to sleep at the same time every night"). When I wrote the clinic a note saying I was unhappy with this level of care, the doctor wrote back to say she hadn't reviewed my chart completely (!) and that because she felt I was overwhelmed with my travel schedule, she hadn't offered a full treatment plan at our last appointment. Really? I was so surprised she admitted this in writing! Because she felt I was overwhelmed with an upcoming trip...she WASTED my time and money and withheld treatment information (apparently). Honestly, I think she was just too lazy to come up with a treatment plan in the first place - I don't believe she had anything prepared for me at all. I wasn't overwhelmed. I travel all the time. I feel like she just wanted me to make more (expensive) appointments. She also had me do an expensive blood/saliva test and told me I'd receive the results - but they haven't been sent to me, months later. After my first appointment, she said she'd do some research and see what might be causing my ear problem and get back to me. I had to call the clinic a couple times and wait a week and a half for a return call (where she said she had no answers for me). On so many levels, this is not acceptable. This doctor is phoning it in. I'm sad there's not a better naturopath in the area. This one is a total waste of time and money - you'd be better served just about anywhere else.

A true gem in Rockaway Beach…read more This easily accessible stroll though the wetlands is a pleasant break from the beach or roadtrip along 101. Limited parking and services, but an excellently maintained elevated boardwalk that instantly puts you at ease. You are surrounded by greenery, birdsong, and the trickle of a creek as you make your way to the giant old growth cedar tree. It is a (mostly flat) trail (~ 1 mile) and I shared the path with strollers, pets (on leashes), and several folks in wheelchairs, or with mobility aids. It is a nice way to beat the heat and coastal winds since it is quite sheltered. While I only saw one picnic table at the two trail endpoints, there are benches throughout. Truly a magical place.

It's pretty flat most of the way, just a slight incline and decline near the tree. They have a small parking lot available, but if it's full, people park along highway 101. There's a porta potty available in the parking lot. There's also a dog waste bag station and garbage can available. The old growth cedar tree is amazing! There's a lot of vegetation to view along the way too. Mushrooms, bleeding hearts, fuschias, etc. Would highly recommend.
