Mal Coombs Park is located on the west side of the small resort town of Shelter Cove. There is a small rocky beach hidden away below the park. Mal Coombs has a parking lot, picnic tables, interpretive panels and a BBQ pit. At low tide, the abundant marine life is exposed in tide pools below the beach. Mal Coombs Park is also the home to the relocated Cape Mendocino Lighthouse.
Getting there
U.S. 101 to the Redway/Garberville exit. Follow signs to Shelter Cove/King Range NCA on Briceland/Thorn and Shelter Cove Roads. Turn left (south) onto Upper Pacific Road at the end of Shelter Cove Road. Follow Upper Pacific Road and merge right onto Lower Pacific Road. Park is on left (ocean) side of the roadway.
1991–2020 averages from the nearest NOAA station, 0.7 mi away — not measured at the facility itself, and elevation can make a real difference over that distance.
