the black sand beaches are a must! shelter cove, a.k.a the lost coast, is surrounded by black sand beaches. there is a beach within walking distance of almost all the inns in the area. we recommend taking full advantage of their beauty! keep an eye out for the seals along the shore and the wales in the distance! there are also plenty of spots to check out the tide pools. fun fact: the entire reason we chose this location was for these beautiful black sand beaches!
if you're willing to take a drive through the mountains, we recommend checking out the redwoods on the way to garberville. honestly, you can just pull over once you see them and admire their beauty! it really is a site to see.
want to pamper yourself? tami, the owner of divine origin is awesome! they are a hair salon and nail salon that offers massages, spray tans, makeup and much more! located in garberville, on the other side of the mountains, be prepared for about an hour drive!
