Carmet Recreation Carmet is right next to Carmet Beach and Schoolhouse Beach on the Pacific Coast. Carmet Beach is a great fishing spot featuring a rugged rocky northern section and a sandy cove that curves to the south. A blufftop trail connects Carmet Beach with Schoolhouse Beach to Carmet’s north. This wider sandy beach is also an excellent fishing spot. Both beaches are part of the sprawling Sonoma Coast State Park, which extends over 17 miles of dramatic coastline between Jenner and Bodega Bay.

To the north of Schoolhouse Beach, Portuguese Beach is one of Sonoma County State Park’s longest and broadest sandy beaches. Scotty Creek Beach sits outside Sonoma County State Park’s boundaries at Portuguese Beach’s northern end with outstanding ocean views and a pastoral inland farming valley.
