Manchester California

Manchester California Information

Manchester State Park takes its name from the village of Manchester, located on Highway 1 about seven miles north of Point Arena. This is an area full of rich grazing lands, flocks of sheep, and herds of cattle, which add a pastoral note to some of the most spectacular coastal scenery in the world. The works of man are definitely secondary to the pounding surf, screeching gulls, and grazing animals that dominate the scene. Manchester includes a Post Office, an Elementary School, the Manchester Grange and a multi-use store with groceries, building supplies and general merchandise. A county road north of Manchester leads past Manchester KOA Kampground to Manchester State Beach.
