Doran Beach
★★★☆☆
(82)
An easy beach entry leads to large sandy bay. Along the south side of the beach is a rock jetty, which generally has a lot of fishermen. The area is generally protected by the headlands, so surge is usually minimal. Visibility often is not great. Currents are generally mild. Stay away from the boat channel.
This site is best known for the crabs. You can see dungeness, red, rock, kelp, and hermit crabs. The jetty holds some fish, including cabezon, lingcod, monkeyface eels and rockfish.
