Irish Beach, California - The somewhat remote beach in Mendocino County sits on the border of Manchester Beach. Around St. Patrick's Day hearts and minds are drawn to California's Irish connections, including the beautiful Irish Beach, where fun-loving visitors drew a shamrock in the sand. Oh what fun!

Irish Beach's heart is, indeed, in the Irish tradition--it once was a sheep ranch. Today it is a beautiful California beach far from Los Angeles and San Francisco, close to the scenic beauty known along Ireland's coast. The six-mile long does include public access at Irish Beach for those who are physically fit and in the mode for a rigorous hike. Upon arrival Irish beach rewards those who persevere with nature's gifts--sand, seashells, rocks, sea life, birds, waves.
