This is a nice, secluded beach, and dogs are not allowed to roam loose here. The beach is just loaded with sea palm and the sand is full of rocks. There is a lot of litter on the trail to get to it, so if someone is feeling generous to the environment, that is something that needs to be cleaned up. Note that Google Maps has this place in as a beach resort, but it is in fact NOT a beach resort in any way; it is a beach (I already tried to fix this but Google rejected my edit).

Hidden beach that takes some work to find but can be a very nice excursion. Best parking is at the college campus just up the hill to the North. Walking downhill to the beach some portions of the trail can be muddy in the winter. Bring a trash bag and a leash for the dog.

I grew up just a few minutes from this beach and it's a hidden treasure in a place where such things are far from uncommon. It's seldom busy and offers flat sand, sheltered bluffs, abundant driftwood and lots more. Just go down and check it out, maybe I'll see you there sometime.

What an amazing view of the ocean! I have never been this far north in California but it is by far my most favorite trip to California yet. You really need to check this place out if you're looking for nature, beautiful views, and great weather look no further.

Finally the wealthy are freely shareing a part of our increadible Mendocino without criminal tresspassing required as admission. A beautiful peacefull place available by real hippies remembering what outlaws surffers beach bums and right of way owners are. Your courtesy unexpected. Appreiciated. Long awaited.

Millionaires show courtiesy to the comamn person, offer, maintain and administer with out greif or b.s. to me. One of the most beautiful places on Earth, made more so by there grace. Thank you, all ways my heart has peace here. Rick Harlan

Super cool little hidden beach. Took me forever to figure out how to get to it but it was soo worth it! Some of the little tidepools were even warm so my son just loved that!!

Interesting...never heard it called Babcock in my 40 yrs here, although I know the family does own lots of property in that area, mostly referred to as Hare Creek Beach, I presumed was public and named so?
