It looks much like the pink flowering currant, a variety of red
flowering currant, Ribes sanguineum.
It is not Ribes speciosusm, fuchsia flowered currant, which has tiny
red "bells" that hang down
like tiny fuchsias. Which also has numerous, very viciious thorns/
prickles.

You're right, it is sanguineum not speciosum, I always get them mixed
up. (grumble)
I even have one blooming in my yard

Well, actually I'm sorta/kinda half right!
Ribes speciosum is Fuchsia-flowered _gooseberry_- with all those
prickles it's not a currant.
So you needn't feel grumbly about getting things mixed up....Ha
I have one in my front dry yard and it's really blooming great this
year.

BTW Garrapata State Beach is one of the most beautiful places on the
West Coast!
