Outdoor Recreation:
The Mendocino Coast offers a wealth of outdoor recreation opportunities for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Here are some of the top outdoor activities you can enjoy along the Mendocino Coast:
Hiking and Nature Trails: Explore scenic coastal trails that wind through redwood forests, meander along bluffs overlooking the ocean, and lead to hidden beaches. Popular trails include the Mendocino Headlands Trail, Russian Gulch State Park trails, and Fern Canyon Loop at Van Damme State Park.
Kayaking and Canoeing: Paddle along calm estuaries, rivers, and coastal coves for a closer look at the coastal landscapes and wildlife. Rentals and guided tours are available in places like Big River Estuary and Noyo River.
Beach-combing and Tide Pooling: Spend time exploring sandy beaches and rocky shorelines, searching for seashells, sea glass, and marine life in tide pools. Glass Beach in Fort Bragg and Schooner Gulch State Beach are popular spots for beach-combing.
Whale Watching: Take a whale-watching tour during the migration seasons (December to April) to catch sight of gray whales as they travel along the coast. Several tour companies operate from Mendocino and Fort Bragg.
Fishing and Crabbing: Cast a line from shore, join a fishing charter, or try crabbing from the piers for a chance to catch salmon, rockfish, Dungeness crab, and more. Fort Bragg and Noyo Harbor are known for fishing excursions.
Biking: Explore coastal roads and scenic routes by bike, taking in breathtaking ocean views, rolling hills, and picturesque villages. Rent bikes locally or bring your own for a leisurely ride or more challenging routes.
Birdwatching: Discover a variety of bird species in coastal habitats, wetlands, and forests. Bring your binoculars to spot seabirds, shorebirds, ospreys, and migratory species in areas like the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens and Big River Estuary.
Golfing: Enjoy a round of golf with ocean views at the Little River Inn Golf Course or challenge yourself on the 9-hole course at the Sea Ranch Golf Links.
Camping: Experience the great outdoors by camping at state parks like Russian Gulch, Van Damme, or MacKerricher, offering campgrounds amidst redwoods, along the coast, or near beach access.
Skunk Train: Sit back and relax on a round trip from Fort Bragg to Northspur, offering passengers a journey through redwood groves, over bridges, and along the Noyo River. The Skunk Train, officially known as the California Western Railroad, has a rich history dating back to the late 1800s. It was originally used for logging operations in the redwood forests of Northern California.
Horseback Riding: Enjoy a guided horseback ride along sandy beaches with the sound of waves crashing in the background.
