Pfeiffer Beach
The path from the parking lot to the beach is no more than 50 yards and has very little slope. Though the beach looks steep, I easily moved across the hard sand to the nearby surf using a beach wheelchair. As if this wasn't enough of a treat, a flock of turkey vultures scavenging nearby turned out to include a couple of California condors!

Did You Know?
Storms sometimes wash in purple sand, particularly at the northern end of the beach. Caused by manganese garnet eroding from the nearby hillsides, this magnificently-hued sand undulates across the beach in shades from pink to deep purple.
