Here you will get professionally guided sea cave tours and more at Van Damme State park in Mendocino, while sitting on a sit on top Ocean Kayak. For the next hour and a half your life will take on that of a Marine Mammal, joining the Harbour Seals, Sea stars, algaes and Shorebirds in this incredibly rich and diverse habitat. All tours are easily paddled by beginners and require no prior experience, as Van Damme is a special place offering protection and channels in either direction. We stay within these areas to insure a smooth ride, while still being able to observe wave action on outer reefs. These tours are time tested and have been safely and happily paddled by thousands of people over the last 15 years.

Van Damme State park was established in 1934. It is located three miles south of the town of Mendocino on highway 1. The highway runs through the park separating the campground and the trails to the east and the beach and parking lot to the west.
All of the 70 campsites within the park may be reserved through Reserve America. The visitor can get a unique perspective of the coast line by taking the kayak tours, available through a concessioneer as a year-round activity, at the Van Damme beach parking lot.
