Caspar Headlands State Beach, State beach in Mendocino County, US.
The beach spans between Doyle Creek and Caspar Creek, offering sand shores alongside dramatic cliffs that rise from the Pacific Ocean.
The area transformed from logging operations that ended in 1955 to become a protected state beach in 1972 through California's conservation efforts.
Local residents initiated a preservation campaign in 1997, collaborating with the Trust for Public Land to protect 300 acres of coastal territory.
Visitors can access hiking trails connecting to Point Cabrillo Light, with free parking available and permission to bring leashed dogs.
The beach contains two distinct creek systems that create a natural sanctuary for Coho salmon and steelhead trout populations.
