Westport-Union Landing State Beach
About
Westport-Union Landing State Beach is a 102-acre state park in California, managed by the state park agency. The nearest town is Cleone, about 13 miles away. The park holds one campground, which makes it a base for an overnight stay rather than just a stop along the way. Summer and early fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July through September highs around 65°F with only two to four wet days a month. Winters are cooler and much wetter, with highs near 52°F and rain on about 16 or 17 days a month. Several trails and paddling routes lie within about 9 miles. Walker Meadow Loop is a hike 8.4 miles away, and the South Fork Eel River, Hollow Tree Creek and the Ten Mile River offer canoeing between roughly 8.5 and 9 miles out.
