Mandalay State Beach, State beach in Oxnard, United States.

Mandalay State Beach is a 92-acre protected beach in Oxnard, California, managed by the California Department of Parks and Recreation. Its 2,920 feet of shoreline front undeveloped sand dunes and wetlands, a landscape once common along the 16.5-mile coastline of the Oxnard Plain. The park has no support facilities.

The beach became part of the California State Park system in 1985, at a time when coastal land in the region was under pressure from urban growth. That decision secured one of the last largely undeveloped stretches of shoreline in Ventura County.

The beach sits between a power plant and a residential neighborhood, giving it an unusual setting that visitors notice right away. People walk the trails mainly to watch coastal birds resting or nesting in the wetland areas nearby.

The beach is reached by road along the coast, with parking near Mandalay Beach Road. The trails through the dune and wetland areas can be uneven, so sturdy footwear is a good idea.

The 92-acre park was created in 1985 partly to keep public access to the sand while shielding the dunes behind it. Its 2,920 feet of shoreline carry no facilities at all, and the sand connects on foot to McGrath State Beach upcoast and Oxnard Beach Park downcoast.
