Activities
Russian Gulch State Park
Great spot for hiking! We loved the Fern Canyon & Waterfall Loop (6.1 mi, 2.5 hr moderate loop)
Glass Beach
Stroll along the shore and marvel at the sea glass. This unique, shimmering beach offers beautiful views and a great activity for visitors of all ages.
Fog Bottle Shop & Wine Bar
Hip bottle shop with an amazing selection of natural wines. Come by to browse or stay for a full tasting. We've been here several times and always left with a new bottle!
The Bell
Our newest Mendocino favorite! Locally-made wines in a cozy, rustic tasting room just off the main street. You won't find it on Google maps, but you can email or DM them to set up a tasting.
Staying for Longer?
Here are a few our favorite gems in Northern California for those looking to make an extended trip:
Explore the Majesty of Redwoods National and State Parks (3.5 hours north):
Step into a world of wonder at Redwoods National Park, home to some of the tallest trees on Earth. Wander through ancient forests, where towering redwoods stretch toward the sky and serene trails lead to breathtaking vistas. From lush ferns and sparkling rivers to misty coastal views, this natural sanctuary offers a peaceful escape and unforgettable adventures in the heart of California's wild beauty. 🌲✨
Experience the Charm of Napa Valley
Wine country (Napa, Healdsburg, Santa Rosa) is ~3 hours south of Fort Bragg, en route back to SFO. Whether you're touring the vineyards, indulging in wine tastings, or relaxing in spa retreats, Napa promises a blend of natural beauty and refined relaxation. A perfect destination for food, wine, and relaxation lovers. 🍇🍷
Hike more of coastal California at the Point Reyes National Seashore
En route to SFO, Point Reyes offers dramatic coastal cliffs, pristine beaches, and stunning wildlife. Hike scenic trails (our favorite being Alamere Falls), visit the iconic lighthouse, and take in breathtaking ocean views. A peaceful haven for nature lovers, photographers, and adventurers alike. 🌊🐦
Take a Few Days to Explore San Francisco
Missing the city after a weekend away? Head back to San Francisco and enjoys some of our favorite restaurants, bars and museums. 🌉🍜
