Meet at 9:05 at pullout for Gualala business directory and at Anchor Bay (west side of Hwy 1) at 9:15. Turn toward the ocean on Kinney Road (mm 21.41) and drive to the end of the road, turning right when it ends and driving to the parking area. Hike starts around 9:45. We will be hiking on the dunes until we can get to the beach, then hiking on the beach. The web site for Manchester State Park advises there can be fog in summer and strong winds year round. On this day there is not a low tide, but there aren't rocks to scramble over and Manchester Beach is very pretty. Dogs are not allowed on state beaches to protect snowy plover nesting. We will drive to the Thompson garden afterwards for lunch.
