Within an hour drive from Philo/Boonville are the charming coastal towns of Mendocino, Fort Bragg, Little River, Elk, and Point Arena. Have brunch at Queenies Roadhouse Cafe in Elk and shop overlooking the Pacific in lovely Mendocino. In Fort Bragg, you can catch the Skunk Train, tour Point Cabrillo Lighthouse and the Mendocino Botanical Gardens, or search for treasure at Glass Beach. The scenic drive from Anderson Valley through the redwoods and along the shore to these quaint coastal villages is among the most beautiful that California has to offer.
