Review:
Located along Little River, Van Damme Beach is part of the 1,830-acre Van Damme State Park on the Mendocino Coast. The beach has an excellent location in a semi-protected cove, making it a popular destination for abalone divers.
Kayak tours and stand up paddle board torus are available for visitors wishing to gain a unique perspective of the coastline or to explore the nearby sea caves; tours can be booked in the beach parking lot. Ten miles of hiking trails lead along the canyon of Little River, and there are several nearby camping areas available for car and tent camping.
