A parking lot for the beach access is on Highway 1 across from the Elk Store. The visitor center and town museum is located 100 yards north. A well-graded trail leads from the parking area down to the driftwood-laden beach where Greenwood Creek pools at the base of Bonee Gulch. This is a picturesque spot to say the least. Gunderson Rock is a rock island that stands tall just offshore from the beach.

The Spring Ranch Property is a little-known gem in Van Damme State Park. It’s a great place to get outside and walk around as there are several miles of flat trails and old road tracks to explore on the coastal property between the towns of Mendocino and Little River. The rest of the shoreline below this property is an inter-tidal rock shelf that is excellent for tidepooling and viewing marine mammals like seals if they are present.

There is a small beach in Frolic Cove within Point Cabrillo Light Station State Historic Park, but the lighthouse is the main draw. Since few people venture out farther than the lighthouse you will be rewarded for your efforts to find the beach. Look for the North Trail leading away from the lighthouse area as it leads to the beach where a steep path provides the final access.
