Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District

Carrington Coast Ranch

With its spectacular coastline and ocean views from Highway 101 near Salmon Creek, the Carrington Coast Ranch is a stunning property with tremendous recreational opportunities. Straddling Coleman Valley Road, this windswept hillside offers amazing views of the rugged shoreline. In addition to its dramatic coast, the site features rolling open grassland and a ring of Monterey cypress. The ranch's original homestead, consisting of house, shed and sheep barn, adds a historic flavor to this scenic beauty. Available by tours now, this property will be given to State Parks to be added to Sonoma Coast State Beach. Future visitors can wander along this ancient marine terrace down toward the property's boundary at Salmon Creek and enjoy a fantastic opportunity hiking down to and along the Pacific.
