Review:
Shell Beach is a slender and rocky beach south of the Russian River located in the small town of Jenner. To get to the beach, visitors make a quick hike down the bluffs along the trail until they hit the sand.
The pathway can be slippery when wet so it's important to wear the proper shoes. The beach feels very private due to the steep bluffs that surround it, making it the perfect locale for beachcombing, fishing, and hiking. Shell Beach is known for its huge rocks and tide pools that become exposed during low tide. It's a fishermen's haven as some of the rocks are entirely covered in mussels.
Shell Beach, Highway 1 and Shell Beach Road, Jenner, CA
