About MacKerricher State Park in Fort Bragg, California

Main Beach is the beach closest to the main entrance and campgrounds in MacKerricher State Park north of Fort Bragg. It’s a dark sand beach that is about a mile in length. In addition to a long sandy beach and campgrounds for tent and RV campers, this area of the state park offers a lake for fishing and non-motorized boating (Lake Cleone), a multi-use recreational trail for walking and biking (Old Haul Road Trail), and a seal and whale watching station. Walking north on the beach takes you into Ten Mile Beach with extensive dunes and a remote beachcombing opportunity. To get to Main Beach, turn west onto Mill Creek Road off Highway 1. Get a map at the entrance station when you enter the park. Consider stopping in at the visitor center to learn more about this state park.
