#15 – Greenwood Creek State Beach

May 15, 2016 by admin

ElkCoastalView_full-size

Just south of the small town of Elk you’ll find picturesque Greenwood Creek State Beach. Here you can soak up the sun, go swimming or have a picnic lunch on the coast. It’s also a wonderful place to go for a stroll and watch the sunset any time of year.

Greenwood, the old name for Elk, was a lumber town in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Today the Greenwood State Beach Visitor Center, which used to be the Elk post office, houses a museum that includes artifacts from the lumber camps and period furniture that includes turn-of-the-century household appliances. There are also a magnificent mural of the old Greenwood wharf, and books and postcards for sale that cover a wide range of coastal subjects including Pomo Indian culture and local history. The Visitors Center is open on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

WHERE: just south of Elk, about 15 miles north of Point Arena.
