MacKerricher Beach

MacKerricher Beach is a long beach in MacKerricher State Park. It is a great place for a break during a long walk.

Tip by

3.80 km

From this spot at the very end of the Laguna Point Boardwalk, you get amazing, sweeping views from Laguna Point of the dramatic cliffs and the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean. Keep an eye out for migrating whales, seals, sea lions, and birds. This is a great spot for catching the sunset as well.

Laguna Point Boardwalk

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

The Laguna Point Boardwalk in MacKerricher State Park offers stunning views of the Pacific Ocean, rocky coastlines, and coastal bluffs. The flat, well-maintained surface of the boardwalk is designed to accommodate visitors with mobility challenges, including those using wheelchairs or strollers. Educational signage along the trail provides insights into the local flora, fauna, and geology. This is a great spot to enjoy wildlife watching, including seals, sea lions, various bird species, and, at times, migrating whales. At low tide, tide pools are revealed; they teem with marine life such as starfish, crabs, and anemones. Please stay on the boardwalk and designated trail to help protect the fragile coastal environment.
