Dillon Beach

Dillon Beach is the only privately owned beach in Northern California. The Dillon Beach Resort maintains the beach and provides facilities for visitors. A milder undertow, or rip current, at Dillon Beach than at other nearby beaches makes Dillon a popular spot for swimming, despite the cold water. Those who spend any time in the water usually opt for a wetsuit.
