Goat Rock Beach and its companion, Blind Beach, are beaches in or near the town of Guerneville, California. They are situated on either side of Goat Rock, where the Russian River meets the Pacific Ocean.

The sand is a coarse, black and grey rock. Driftwood and kelp commonly wash up on the beach. The beach is a common resting ground for harbor seals and sea lions. Due to a steep slope into the water that leads to an underwater ditch parallel to the waterline, rip tides are common.
