Things To Do
Noyo Fish Company
Our go-to lunch spot! They serve up the best fish and chips—crispy, fresh, and perfectly golden—and the harbor views are even better. Grab a seat on the patio, soak up the salty breeze, and if you're lucky, you might spot Nicole’s favorite local celebs: the harbor seals! 🦭
Pacific Star Winery
Okay, the wines are just fair—but the cliffside ocean views are unreal. It also happens to be where Nick and I got engaged, so it holds a pretty special place in our hearts. Highly recommend for a breezy afternoon of sipping and soaking in the scenery.
Russian Gulch State Park
A gorgeous spot for hiking, coastal views, and lush redwoods. Don’t miss the waterfall trail—it’s a local favorite and totally worth the stroll. And keep your eyes peeled on the forest floor… you just might spot a bright yellow banana slug making its slow and slimy debut!
Mendocino Headlands State Park
For moody cliffs, dramatic ocean views, and that fresh sea air that makes you feel instantly poetic. Bring a jacket and your best “windswept hair” vibes.
Downtown Mendocino
Charming little shops, local art galleries, and the cutest bookstore you didn’t know you needed. It’s great for a mellow afternoon stroll. A can't miss stop..Mendocino Chocolate Company-- the truffles!
GoodLife Cafe & Bakery
Excellent coffee, amazing pastries, and the kind of breakfast that makes you want to move here.
