Here, you'll discover a vast sandy beach nestled below the cliffs, just down from the village of Mendocino. Keep in mind that the beach's shape can change from year to year, shaped by the forces of storms rearranging the channel. In some years, you may encounter a massive lagoon on the northwest corner of the beach, while in other years, a channel may have formed, creating a large sandbar island that you can wade out to.

There are beaches along the Mendocino Coast, but none are as iconic as Big River Beach. Perched on the bluffs of Mendocino Village, Big River is a sprawling sandy beach perfect for a little seaside fun, sunbathing, or splashing in the water. Although it is the most popular of the beaches on the coast, it is still far from crowded. Depending on the day, you may find yourself alone on this expansive beach - or perhaps with one or two other couples strolling on the beach.
