Laguna Point
About
Laguna Point is a public ocean beach on the California coast within the Mendocino Unit, about 1.5 miles from the town of Cleone. It's a straightforward spot to visit, with restrooms and accessible access, and there is no fee to use it. Summer and early fall bring the most settled weather. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show highs around 65°F from July through September with only two to four wet days a month, while winter months see highs near 52°F and rain on about half the days. For more time outdoors in the area, Belinda Point Trail is about 6 miles away, and Ten Mile River offers canoeing at a similar distance. The Ecological Staircase Trail and Pygmy Forest Reserve Trail are both roughly 8 miles from the beach.
