About the Business

The Coastal Parking Lot at MacKerricher State Park in Fort Bragg, California, offers visitors the opportunity to reserve campsites and lodging in advance. The park features a variety of habitats including beach, bluff, headland, dune, forest, and wetland areas. Tide pools and seals can be spotted along the coastline, while birdwatchers can enjoy over 90 species of birds near Cleone Lake. The park is popular for hiking, jogging, horseback riding, and cycling, with wheelchair accessible trails available. The park's history dates back to the Mendocino Indian Reservation and the Union Lumber Company's timber and shipping operations. Accessibility improvements are ongoing, including the removal of invasive species and restoration of natural habitats. Guided and self-guided educational field trips are available for school groups at no cost. For more information, visitors can contact the Mendocino District Office or the MacKerricher State Park Interpreters office.

"So i try to make it over here with the kids to see the tide pools. Low tide is best and its pretty safe then. Wheel chair accessable walk ways and great views. There are camping areas and bathrooms. Plus you can hand feed the ground squirrels out by the walkways and lookout areas but youre not supposed to (Oops). I always have a great time here."

"A beautiful spot to go to the water and play in the sand or climb rock. Just a great place for fresh air and enjoying a peaceful moment! Always clean and not too crowded!"

"The hike here is short and really nice. It goes through a cypress grove that provides some shelter. At one end of the trail there are tide pools, and at the other end of the platform there’s a beach with some seals. A really nice little hike."

"Beautiful get-a-way spot! Love the boardwalks thru the coastal brush. Love to watch the squirrels(?) antics for entertainment. Beautiful rocky northern coastline. Spotted some whales off in the distance. Great coastal experience. We visit here every time thru Fort Bragg and never disappointed"

"We loving going to Jenny's burgers, getting our order to go and coming to this park to enjoy the beautiful ocean views. Parking is up on a hill above the ocean with great views. Easy beach access and beautiful walking trail off the beach. There are bathrooms located on the trail, camp sites, and a shower hose to clean your feet off after walking on the beach. We love it here."
