Schooner Gulch Beach is three miles south of Point Arena on California Highway 1, near mile marker 11.3. The small parking area is immediately north of the Schooner Creek Bridge, on the west side of the road.
Two trails lead from the parking lot to the beach. The one nearest the bridge goes to Schooner Gulch Beach, about a two-minute walk down a dirt path. The other goes to Bowling Ball Beach.
