Drive north on Highway 1 and you'll come to a bridge, there is no actual parking, so you'll just have to stop in the sandy area on the side of the road. The hike to the top of the hill is strenuous due to the extremely fine sand, but eh hike is worth it. Ahead of you stretches the beautiful MacKerricher State Park...MacKerricher State Park is situated in Mendocino County near the town of Fort Bragg, on the coast of Northern California. It is considered to be one of the finest coastal parks in the entire California State Park System. The park encompassing approximately 2299 acres of which 454 offshore acres are designated as underwater park.

The southern portion of the park is a wide terrace of coastal prairie which terminates at the ocean in steep, low, rocky bluffs, with a scattering of picturesque sandy beach. The most noticable features of the central section of the park are Bishop and Shore Pine forests which frame Lake Cleone, a 30 acre ancient coastal lagoon. The north portion of MacKerricher State Park is four miles of uninterupted beach backed by a large complex of sand dunes.

California Coastal Town

by Rixie

Fort Bragg, located on the Pacific Ocean in Mendocino County, has been many things over the years: military outpost, Indian reservation, and lumber port. It even had a thriving Chinatown in the late 19th century, when the railroad was being built.

Today Fort Bragg is a great little town -- a nice weekend spot or a relaxing stopover if you're driving up the coast.

Playing Paul Bunyan at the train station.
