Beaches & Parks

Our coastline has a wealth of hidden beaches, pristine rivers and creeks that flow to the sea, each with its own special features and beauty. Below is information about the beach access and parks in the Redwood Coast Chamber of Commerce service area, beginning in Sonoma County at Fort Ross and extending to Irish Beach in Mendocino County. Many of the links go to photos that are part of the California Coastal Records Project * and are linked by permission. (*Copyright © 2002-2004 Kenneth Adelman, All rights reserved.)
