Things to Do:

Most of the south Mendocino Coast consists of 50' to 100' high bluffs above a rocky shoreline. Here and there are beautiful beaches in protected coves. Most access is across private property and is therefore restricted. Several Serenisea Vacation Homes have access to "private" beaches. To wiggle your toes in the sand at beaches available to the public, we suggest:

Anchor Bay Beach: A gorgeous 1/2 mile beach bordering Anchor Bay, 4 miles north of Gualala. A favorite, relatively safe beach for picnics, play, exploring tide pools, and launching small boats or ocean kayaks for fishing or diving. Access is via a path through the Anchor Bay Campground. There is a small fee for beach access. If someone in your party is physically challenged, or if you have a boat, there are a few parking spots located in the campground. Check at the campground office.

Gualala Point Park: located south the Gualala River Bridge. This mile long beach sits between the mouth of the Gualala river and the Pacific Ocean. A great spot to watch thundering surf in the winter. The park also gives access to several miles of bluff trails on the Sea Ranch, providing the best hiking in the immediate area.

Getchell Cove: Adjoining Serenisea, great rocky cove for exploring tide pools, rock fishing, or diving. The path starts next to the Serenisea office.

Manchester State Beach: (30 minutes north of Gualala) Over six miles of sand beach and almost no people. Wonderful for beach combing, picnics, or playing hide and seek in the sand dunes. The Alder creek access point is where the San Andreas fault goes out to sea.

Salt Point State Park: (25 minutes south of Gualala) Marine preserve, plus Kruse Ranch Rhododendron State reserve. You'll find miles of nature trails for serious hikers through this large state park, as well as pocket beaches, tide pools and great spots to picnic.
