Irene Leidner took this photo from an airplane above Manchester Beach. Isn't it lovely?

Manchester Beach is huge - there are five miles of shoreline. It is in Manchester State Park and you can learn more about it at this website: http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=437.

Here is another photo of the waves at Manchester Beach, taken by Beth Petit. This is a place where you might find something washed up on the beach from halfway around the world.

Thanks to Irene and Beth for allowing me to share their photos with you here.
