Wright's Beach Campground

The ocean, bay and river frontage of the Sonoma County coast are an angler's paradise. Sport fishing species include rockfish, perch, salmon, steelhead and smelt, as well as red abalone, mussels and cockles. A valid California Fishing license license is required.

Sonoma Coast State Park is made up of a bunch of smaller parts (all are equally as beautiful). So, needless to say..you’ve got A LOT to choose from. There are several shorter scenic hiking trails can be found at the extreme northern and southern extents of the park. These include Russian Gulch and the headland and bluff trails of North Jenner, in the north, and the Bodega Head and Horseshoe Cove Overlook trails in the south. Longer hikes include the 4-mile Kortum Trail from Blind Beach to Wright’s Beach and the 3.5-mile trail from Shell Beach to Pomo Canyon campground (or 7 miles to Duncans Mills through the Willow Creek addition).

Is riding a horse shirtless on the beach your thing? Well at Sonoma Coast State Park you can do that! Equestrians and hikers can access the park's five-mile trail system through the Bodega Dunes, via Bay Flat Road. Horses are allowed onto Salmon Creek Beach if they stay on the trail, but are not allowed north of the picnic area. The Kortum Trail begins at Wright's Beach and travels north to Blind Beach. The Pomo Canyon Trail, out of the Shell Beach parking lot, winds over the hill 3 1/2 miles to the Pomo Canyon Campground.

While the vintage wines of Sonoma are most definitely better quality then the waves, there are a couple decent spots. Sonoma Coast offers up two spots in particular, Salmon Creek and Secrets. For the best info and current conditions look here .
