Things To Do

Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens

We visit here often! Highly recommend going for a stroll through the beautiful gardens and walking out to the coastline. This would be our TOP recommendation!

Sea Pal Cove

This is our favorite local spot for fish and chips! Keep an eye out for harbor seals!

GoodLife Cafe & Bakery

Delicious coffee and food!

Russian Gulch State Park

Great hikes!

The Skunk Train & Rail Bikes

Pacific Star Winery

The Pub at North Coast Brewing Co.

The Waiting Room @ Cafe Beaujolais

This is a great place for coffee, its attached to The Brickery. If you didn't make it to the Friday night dinner, this would be a great place to get a pizza for lunch!

Cowlick's Ice Cream

If you are in the mood for ice cream, you should stop by here and get a waffle cone. Even if you don't get it, you have to try the mushroom ice cream. YUM.

Princess Seafood Restaurant

This place is a great option for lunch by the harbor. The food is great, they often have live music, and you can look out over the harbor and hopefully see some seals :) Just make sure you drive the end of the road and go to the restaurant, not the market.

Jug Handle Beach

This beach is just across from the campground and there are lots of hiking trails around to explore.

Mendocino Headlands State Park

After you grab some lunch or coffee downtown, walk out on the cliffs and explore all the beautiful views, wildflowers, and wildlife.
