Things To Do
Catch-a-Canoe
Catch-a-Canoe provides a wide selection of redwood outriggers, canoes, kayaks, and bicycles for exploring Big River and beyond. They are walking distance from the campground; about 1/4-mile north.
Pacific Star Winery
Located 12 miles north of Fort Bragg, the wine from this winery is as good as its view. A great place to go for an afternoon adventure. Bring some cheese and buy a bottle to take advantage of their picnic tables located at the bluff's edge! Bonus Feature: The winery is located on the Pacific Star fault, part of the San Andreas fault system. Geology!
North Coast Brewing Company
A pioneer in the Craft Beer movement, North Coast Brewing Company opened in 1988 as a local brewpub in the historic town of Fort Bragg, located on California’s Mendocino Coast. In addition to Red Seal Ale, Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout, Scrimshaw Pilsner, and other fine North Coast brands, the brewery has resurrected the old Acme label with a heritage dating back to the San Francisco of the 1860s.
The Town of Mendocino
Mendocino is known for its natural beauty, from the smallest to the tallest Redwoods in the world, to glass-bottom beaches and the only oceanfront botanical gardens in the USA. Stroll through these quaint seaside towns and you'll discover many fun things to do! Just steps from your Mendocino B&B you'll find charming restaurants, unique boutiques, galleries specializing in local art, and lively entertainment.
Skunk Train
Located in Northern California’s Mendocino County there is a skunk running through the redwood forest, but this isn’t any skunk, it’s the world famous Skunk Train. The California redwoods, pristine coastline, and award winning vineyards are all a part of the landscape of what makes Mendocino County such an amazing place and home to this 131-year-old train. Regardless of your departure point it’s the occasional whistles as your train chugs through tunnels, over bridges and past open meadows, the train follows the coastal "Redwood Route" as it has since 1885. It is the towering trees, a glimpse of a deer drinking from the Noyo River, an isolated fisherman's cabin peeking from the forest, and the notion that you have left the rest of the world behind that draw people to the Skunk Train.
Glass Beach
Glass Beach is a beach that is abundant in sea glass created from years of dumping garbage into an area of coastline near the northern part of the town. In the mid to late 90's, the garbage aspect was cleaned up and what now remains is smooth glass pebbles.
