Manchester is the next town north of Pt. Arena. It is the site of the Pt. Arena Cable Station. There is an abundance of wildlife and miles of hiking. It is close enough to other points of interest in Cali. 141 miles to SF, 30 miles to Mendocino, 68 miles to Bodega Bay and 117 to Sonoma, so it's a wilderness area within reach of other really interesting places. Beautiful dunes, beaches and hiking trails up in the Coastal Range. We've been back four times because we just love it there.
"The Point Arena area is also home to the Point Arena Cable Station, although the station is technically located in nearby Manchester. Built in 1956 by AT&T Corporation, the cable station serves as the eastern terminus of several undersea cables, including the JUSCN and connections to Hawaii and Canada.[10][11][12] In 2002, AT&T applied for a permit from the EPA to connect an existing fiber optic conduit to the cable station, since further construction would cause incidental damage to the habitat of the endangered Point Arena Mountain Beaver.[13]"
