Duncans Point, Cape and archaeological site in Sonoma Coast State Park, California, United States.
The granite promontory extends 300 yards into the Pacific Ocean, creating a natural shelter for the adjacent rocky inlet of Duncans Landing.
Archaeological research at Duncans Point has revealed vertebrate fossil assemblages dating back to the late Quaternary period, documenting ecological changes over time.
The site marks the former southern boundary of Pomo territory and received National Historic Landmark status in 1971 for its archaeological value.
Visitors access the point via State Route 1, but should maintain distance from Duncans Landing due to dangerous surf conditions and strong waves.
Research at Duncans Point Cave uncovered remains of the Sewellel, providing evidence of prehistoric fauna distribution along the Northern California coast.
