Review:
Located at the mouth of the Russian River, Goat Rock Beach is one of the less crowded beaches in the area. The beach usually only encounters a high number of visitors during the peak of summer, but its frequency of visitors has nothing to do with its beauty. Due to the ocean’s strong current, swimming at the beach is strictly prohibited, but visitors are welcome to admire its jaw-dropping scenery. Goat Rock Beach has a beautiful summertime sandbar, rocky outcroppings and cliffs along the coast, and hypnotizing waves crashing along the sandy shoreline. Several marine mammals can also be found frequenting the beach including river otters, elephant seals, and sea lions. Visitors may view the animals from a recommended 50-yard distance.
