Manresa State Beach

Highlight • Beach

Just another amazing beach along the 60+ miles long sandy crescent formed by the Monterey Bay coastline. Cars have to pay $10 to park here, but hiking / biking in is free, and there are many more parking opportunities nearby.

A nice place with good restaurants, shops and access to the beach. Disadvantage at the weekend: The bus only runs three times a day.
