A hiding place from all the world. A source of eternal discoveries. THE OCEAN PROVIDES. This is from a poem I love and speaks to what I most enjoy about being a part of the Noyo Center – discovery and learning what the ocean brings to us and this community. Join the Noyo Center and discover with us.

A Vision for Tomorrow
Located on the rugged coast of Fort Bragg, California, the 11.5-acre Ocean Science Center site is situated adjacent to recently protected coastal lands. Together the Ocean Science Center and Noyo Headlands Park lead the redevelopment of a 400-acre former timber mill site spanning more than three miles of Fort Bragg’s waterfront.
