Goat Rock,
near the mouth of the Russian River, is known for its scenic shoreline
and easily accessible sandy beach. Picnic tables and restroom facilities
are also available. Goat Rock beach is home to a colony of harbor
seals which are fun to watch, but please stay 50 yards from the
seals, especially during pupping season (March - August.) Due to
the protected status of the seals, NO DOGS are allowed on Goat Rock
Beach.
