Expansive coastal dunes, a freshwater fen and sweeping Pacific vistas offer contrast: wind-sculpted sand, tidal pools, reed-lined wetlands and migrating birds. Visit at sunrise or golden hour for warm side-light on dune textures and long reflections in the fen; foggy mornings add mood. Accessible via Ten Mile/Inglenook trailheads north of Fort Bragg with unpaved parking; no fee but pack water, wind protection and respect protected habitat and nesting seasons.
