Doran Beach
Doran
Park is a wonderful coastal resource for Sonoma County. This sheltered
beach is nearly two miles long and is a popular place for visitors to
picnic, swim, relax, build sand castles, fly kites, surf, fish and stroll.
A rock jetty at the harbor mouth provides access for fishing, crabbing
and exploring sea life. The boat launch can accommodate up to 20-foot
boats. A parking lot is located adjacent to the launch and can handle
