Wildflowers at Manchester State Beach

Posted on May 25, 2019June 1, 2019 by Vanda

Manchester State Beach
44500 Kinney Lane
Manchester, CA

Manchester State Beach has the most coastal wildflowers I’ve ever seen on a beach.  I visited in May which is prime time for the flowers to bloom.  The beach is quiet and wide which makes it great for long walks and has a ton of driftwood to form forts. The trail to the beach starts on the right whereas walking north will take you to the sand dunes and wildflower bushes.
