Fort Bragg’s beaches are an important part of the city’s history and identity. For thousands of years before European settlement, Native peoples, including the Pomo, used the Mendocino Coast’s beaches and shoreline to gather shellfish, seaweed, salt, and other resources. In the mid-1800s, as Fort Bragg developed from a military post established in 1857 into a thriving lumber town, its coastline became essential for shipping redwood lumber and supplies. Over time, the beaches evolved from working waterfronts into popular recreational destinations.
The beach was easy to get to once you park. Definitely good for kids and pets because there is a bunch of open space and in the cove the waves aren’t big at all. No bathrooms or rinse station so be prepared.
We actually loved this beach because of the adventure getting to it. **It is not easily accessible or easy to find the access**
The path was muddy, overgrown, and takes an adventurous attitude to trek it. You need to scale a steep wall at the bottom utilizing ropes (on site) to go up and down. Probably not great for a beach day with loss of goodies and in sandals. Great place to walk and see some new scenery in solitude.
Beautiful secluded little hideaway. Full of mystery and surprise. I often find the most amazing agates here. Even found an arrowhead or 2..my dogs love it because people visiting are few and far between which leaves much time to playcatch and to bask in the sun.

Want a place to sit in your vehicle meditating to the crashing waves, or trails along the cliffs? This is your spot.
