O plajă micuță pe un minunat traseu de pe un înălțime la Wilder Ranch. Reține că unele plaje de pe traseu nu sunt accesibile sau sunt închise pentru conservarea faunei sălbatice. Fern Grotto are un traseu destul de ușor de coborât de pe traseu. Va trebui să drumețești sau să mergi cu bicicleta până aici, este probabil la o milă de zona de parcare. Este oarecum mai mică și puțin mai departe decât Sand Plant Beach, pe același traseu de pe înălțime. Verifică peștera și admiră plantele care cresc în pereți. Este un loc fain cu pereți înalți și o deschidere destul de îngustă către mare.

A nice little beach on a wonderful bluff top trail at Wilder Ranch. Note that some beaches on the trail are not accessible or are closed for wildlife preservation. Fern Grotto has a pretty easy path down from the trail. You’ll have to hike or bike out here, it’s probably a mile from the parking area. It’s somewhat smaller and a bit further than Sand Plant Beach, along same bluff top trail. Check out the cave and admire the plants growing in the walls. It’s a neat spot with high walls and a fairly narrow opening to the sea.

Unul dintre preferatele noastre! Izolat. Plin de viață. Fără câini. Fără structuri de joacă. Un traseu de țarină duce către plajă unde vei găsi o grotă frumoasă plină de ferigi zemoase hidratate de apă filtrată proaspătă din pământ. Foarte relaxant. Toalete curate și aprovizionate la Punctul de pornire al traseului aproape de Ferma Wilder. Parcare contra cost. Perfect pentru biciclete sau plimbări. Ia apă, un picnic ușor și încalțăminte potrivită. Trasee cu pământ, nisip, piatră și pietriș, cu câteva poduri din lemn. Călătoria durează aproximativ 20-25 de minute pe jos.

One of our favorites! Secluded. Full of life. No dogs. No play structures. Goat path leads down to beach where you'll find a beautiful grotto full of supple ferns hydrated by fresh filtered ground water. Very relaxing. Clean and stocked restrooms at Trailhead near Wilder Ranch. Paid parking. Perfect for biking or walking. Pack water, light picnic, and wear proper shoes. Dirt, sand, stone, & gravel paths with some wooden bridges. Takes about 20-25 minutes to reach on foot.

Acest loc mi-a fost recomandat ca una dintre plajele unice din California de Nord. Nu m-a dezamăgit. În mod sincer, plaja în sine nu este foarte aglomerată. Sincer, nu pare a avea ceva special până când cobori la plajă. Grotta este adăpostită într-o parte și este absolut superbă. Merită cu adevărat scurta excursie până la plajă. Peisajul este spectaculos.

This place was recommended to me as one of Norther California's unique beaches. It did not disappoint. The beach itself is not very populated. It honestly doesn't look like anything special till you walk down to the beach. The grotto is tucked into the side and is absolutely gorgeous. It's absolutely worth the short hike to get to the beach. The scenery is spectacular.
