For those not already familiar with Seaside Beach, it is a great spot to let your dog roam off-leash. (And technically the only beach in Mendocino County where you're allowed to do so).
Located a few miles north of Fort Bragg and just off Highway 1, its biggest drawback is it has a very small parking lot that is usually full on the weekends, leaving many people to park along the highway.
Now the parking situation is even worse as Caltrans is doing work just across the highway from the beach and has set up one-way traffic control signals, one of which is directly in front of the entrance/exit to the beach's parking lot, blocking it with long lines of vehicles.
According to Caltrans, the work is continuing 24/7, and the signals were definitely on when we visited Sunday.
