Centerville Beach County Park
About
Centerville Beach County Park is a public ocean beach on the California coast, about 4.7 miles from the town of Ferndale. It sits within the Centerville Beach land unit and offers a simple setup: restrooms are on site, there is no fee to visit, and dogs are allowed. Summer into early fall is the driest stretch. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Scotia show August and September highs in the low 70s with only one to three wet days a month, while winter months bring highs in the mid-50s and rain on roughly half the days. For a hike to pair with a beach visit, the Pacific View Trail and Ferndale View Trail are both about 4.8 miles away, and the Maple Leaf Loop Trail is about 5 miles off. The Great Redwood Trail lies a little farther, roughly 8 miles away.
