Guide to Sonoma Coast beaches

Spring has sprung, inspiring new reasons to visit Sonoma County's many beaches. Plan a weekend of sand and surf at any of these beaches along Highway 1's Sonoma Coast.|

The beaches along the Sonoma Coast are one of a kind. While most people link sunbathing and warm water with California beaches, those of us who live in the northern part of the state know better - better pack your jacket! While we do see some sunny days on our coast, fog and wind are the usual weather.

However, don't let the climate deter you from a day at the beach. Our beaches are some of the most beautiful in California, allowing for days of tide-pooling, surfing, beach combing, whale watching and more.
