About Point Arena
Point Arena encompasses a dramatic, windswept stretch of coastline supported by Bowling Ball Beach, Schooner Gulch State Beach, Point Arena Cove, and the historic Point Arena Lighthouse. Point Arena Cove features a famous, heavy left-hand point break that attracts experienced surfers, while Bowling Ball Beach is world-renowned for its spherical sandstone concretions that sit aligned in the intertidal zone. Schooner Gulch offers rich tide pools tucked along its rocky headlands. Checking tide charts is non-negotiable here: the iconic "bowling balls" and surrounding tide pools are completely submerged at high tide, requiring a mid-to-low tide to be visible and safely accessible.
