Shelter Cove - Mal Coombs Park

Mal Coombs Park is located on the southwest side of the small town of Shelter Cove. There are interpretive panels overlooking a small rocky beach hidden away below the park. Mal Coombs has a parking lot, picnic tables, a native plant garden, BBQ pit and public restrooms. At low tide, the abundant marine life is exposed in tide pools below the beach. Always check current ocean conditions before walking on the beach. Mal Coombs Park is also the home to the restored Cape Mendocino Lighthouse that was relocated in 1998.
