The beauty of Hearn Gulch is something to be savored again and again. Eric Duff visited the lovely pocket beach just before sunset, and you can see the sun shining through the sea tunnel.

There is also a blowhole on the north side, and when the ocean swells begin to build, that's the time to see if the blowhole is in action. Here's a photo I took last month.

Parking for Hearn Gulch is found at mile marker 10.0, near Iversen Road in Mendocino County. To learn more about the several treasured places the Redwood Coast Land Conservancy has brought to us, here is their website: http://www.rc-lc.org/

There is a convenient "Donate" button on their site. They are actively fundraising at this time.

Thanks to Eric for allowing me to share his beautiful photo with you here.

On Wednesday we had high surf warnings. So Rick and I, with our golden retriever Sunny, headed for Hearn Gulch to see if the blowhole was in action. It was!

Hearn Gulch is found just north of Iversen Road in Mendocino County at mile marker 10. To learn more about it, here is the link to the Redwood Coast Land Conservancy - http://www.rc-lc.org/ You can also learn about Cooks Beach and the Gualala Bluff Trail. Thank you, RCLC!

Last night's sunset was another beauty. Paul Brewer went to Hearn Gulch to photograph it.

Craig Tooley was out with his camera and photographed some of the big waves that have been hitting the coast. The first two show the action at Hearn Gulch, which is found in Mendocino County at mile marker 10.0 just north of Iversen Road. As you can clearly see in the second photo, there is an impressive blowhole there.

Rozann and George Grunig recently visited Hearn Gulch [mile marker 10.0 in Mendocino County]. It was exploding with such force that they were in awe.

This is a beautiful public access point to visit with bluffs, broad ocean views, a sweet pocket beach, a sea tunnel and this blowhole.

Thanks to Rozann for allowing me to share her post with you here.
