Surrounded by its wide, windswept sand and rolling dunes, this natural barrier makes the beach an uncrowded spot just minutes from Eureka. You can often find a secluded stretch all to yourself. There’s no fee to visit, and leashed dogs are welcome. Just remember to pack out what you bring in, there aren’t many facilities, but that’s part of its charm.
