Hwy 101 mile marker 44.
Just south of the town of Manzanita is the entrance to Nehalam Bay State Park. Turn right at the sign next to a gas station and follow the road, making a couple of turns. You'll soon come to a big arched sign suspended on log posts on either side of the road, and then you'll drive a mile or two, and swear that you are going to a Southern flatland beach, with scrubby brush on either side.

After passing the pay post ($5 day use fee - or simply display your annual pass) you will come out on a large parking lot with horse stables to the south. A left turn just prior to the parking lot leads to a boat ramp.

Entrance on 101	Pay station and sign leading to beach

Horse Parking provided, Pard!	Did ya bring a shovel??

Remember your signpost!This is a long beach with 5 or 6 entrances that look almost exactly like this one. So remember to glance back and see what the sign says, and perhaps take note of the surroundings near the entrance - so you can easily find it when you come back.	Remember your signpost!

A view to the south	Here are some inland clouds. On this particular day a small storm blew in from the ocean. You can see the edge of it to the right.

Here's a view of the clear air and bright clouds after the storm.	Another view
