Van Damme Beach, part of the larger Van Damme State Park in Mendocino County, California, provides beach-goers with a perfect place to soak up the sun and relax. Located near the town of Little River on State Route 1, the park offers stunning landscapes, recreational opportunities, and world-class camping for those looking to stay overnight. With ten miles of trails along the Little River, beautiful boardwalked nature trails through the pygmy forest, kayaking tours of sea caves, and access to Little River Beach itself, Van Damme Beach is ideal for adventure-seekers, beach lovers, and nature enthusiasts alike.
