Visit Jenner
by the Sea
Jenner is set
along the Pacific coastline. The transition to the coastal environment begins
around Duncan's Mills and completes at the river's last bend before flowing into
the ocean (see the picture at the left). Jenner offers fine River and Ocean view
dining, great vacation rentals, romantic lodging and unique gift shops. Jenner
is a short drive from spectacular cliffs and accessible beaches including Goat
Rock State Park. Coastal Dining
There are a couple of restaurants with spectacular views in Jenner.

Paddle the Estuary
Kayak rentals available.
Beach Access
The easy coast beach access is at the south side of the river's mouth at Goat Rock. Take Highway One south of Jenner until you take a right onto Goat Rock Road after crossing the Russian River and heading up a bit of a hill. To access the beach on the north side of the mouth you have to hike down the cliffs (there are trails but they are steep).
Explore Penny Island
The island in the middle of the estuary just out from Jenner is Penny Island. If you paddle out there you may walk around and explore if you wish as it is part of the park land.
Catch A Sunset

Watch Seal Pups
The mouth of the river is a home and birthing location for seals.
 Attractions
The main attraction is being at the river's mouth. This is the intersection of
the river and coast ecosystems. Consider renting a kayak to paddle around the
estuary. During seal pupping season when you head towards the mouth you can see
the seals swimming along next to you. The air is always incredibly fresh in Jenner,
especially when you walk down by the river - it's invigorating. Goat Rock beach
is a great place to have a picnic with the dunes, rock formations, pounding surf
and dramatic hiking trail.
