Florencia Bay

This is a very scenic beach, ideal for long walks, but beware rising tides.

Goldmine Trail leads from the highway to the beach where gold mining took place during the early years of the 1900s. The placer operations didn't last long, and a few years after discovery, everyone left the area. During the depression a few miners returned to salvage what gold remained. Some rusted mining machinery may be seen at the end of the trail.
