MANCHESTER STATE BEACH

 

Meet at 9:50 at the pullout for the Gualala business directory and at Anchor Bay (west side of Hwy 1) at 10:05. The hike will begin at the Manchester State Beach Parking Lot (end of Kinney Road, just north of Manchester village) at 10:30. We will walk south  passing the AT&T Undersea Cable Station, to access a large field of wildflowers adjacent to Brush Creek where it flows into the ocean. After exploring the creek and estuary area we will hike back north on the same route to the cars to pick-up our lunches from the car.  We will then head north along the dunes to the beach for lunch  before returning to our cars. Note: If it is to windy and cold on the beach for eating, we will return to the picnic tables by where the cars are parked for lunch instead
Leaders: Susan Levenson-Palmer and Gary Levenson-Palmer
