Rick and Julie Beck, along with their three-generation family, call Manteca home during the holidays.To put it more accurately, the Family City is their vacation home for the duration of one week starting the day before Thanksgiving, and up to a one-month stay which usually culminates the day before Christmas.That wouldn’t be so surprising except, the Beck clan happens to have their home anchored in Winchester Bay, touted as “a vacationer’s paradise (and) home to miles of undisturbed beaches, abundant wildlife, and ocean fishing.” For many years, the family also has owned and operated the Winchester Bay Market which mainly caters to vacationers who enjoy crabbing and fishing, among many outdoor activities that this seaside community is famous for nationwide. Family patriarch Rick Beck describes Winchester Bay as a “little harbor fishing village,” and their general store as a one-stop place for everyday errands.
