Located right in the heart of historic Noyo Harbor, Sportsman’s Park offers front-row access to some of the most iconic activities on the Mendocino Coast. The harbor is fully operational and brimming with character — think vintage fishing boats, dockside seafood, and the nostalgic hum of a foghorn rolling over the water.

Spend your days seal-watching from the pier, kayaking along the river, or walking to nearby restaurants for fresh-caught fish. Whether you’re here to relax or adventure, Fort Bragg has something for everyone.
