Discover More in Dillon Beach
Dillon Beach is a peaceful seaside hamlet on the Marin-Sonoma border, where wide, walkable shores meet rolling sand dunes and salty Pacific breezes. It’s one of the few private beaches in Northern California open to the public, offering a rare mix of seclusion, natural beauty, and laid-back California coastal charm.
Wake up to the sound of waves and enjoy a morning beach walk or tidepool exploration with the family. The beach is dog-friendly, kid-friendly, and always inviting, whether you’re flying kites, collecting shells, or just soaking in the coastal serenity. Surfers love the gentle waves, and beachgoers appreciate the space to spread out and breathe deeply.
After a day in the sand, head up to the Dillon Beach Coastal Kitchen for ocean-view dining with local oysters, or retreat to your rental home for a Greetwell-arranged massage, sunset picnic, or private chef dinner featuring local seafood and Sonoma wines. The nearby Estero Americano and Tomales Bay make for beautiful day trips by kayak or car.
Dillon Beach isn’t flashy -- it’s timeless. It offers a rare chance to reconnect with nature and each other in a quiet, unspoiled setting. For those seeking restorative coastal energy, this is your spot.
