About Manhattan Beach State Recreation Site

This day-use park sits beside U.S. Route 101 a few miles north of Rockaway Beach. Shore pines shelter picnic tables tucked into small loops, which offer some relief from coastal wind. A short access trail leads visitors down to the Pacific beach. The park also offers fishing, according to its Wikipedia entry, and it is open to the public without a fee.
