Marshall Gulch Beach

Marshall Gulch Beach is a small pocket beach below Highway 1 where Marshall Gulch Creek enters the ocean. This little fishing beach is just south of the small housing community of Carmet along the Sonoma County coast north of Bodega Bay. It requires a short hike down the embankment from the parking lot on the highway. This narrow path begins at the south end of the parking lot. At low tide you’ll be able to walk between the rocks north and south to other small coves. At high tide this beach is very small. In the surf is a large rock called Arched Rock, but the hole in the rock is only visible from Arched Rock Beach south of here. Marshall Gulch Beach is part of the 17-mile long Sonoma Coast State Park.
