A favorite weekend getaway for Northern California Bay Area residents, the town of Mendocino is located on the coast of Mendocino County. The town is famous for its art galleries, restaurants, and trendy shops. It is smaller and more "refined" than its blue collar neighbor to the North, Fort Bragg.

Understand

The city is sometimes called Mendocino town to differentiate it from Mendocino County.

Get in

By plane

The closest international airport is in San Francisco.

By car

From the Bay Area, the most scenic drive to Mendocino is on coastal Highway 1, winding through western Marin County and Sonoma County. A faster but less impressive alternative is to take highway 101 to the junction with tiny state Highway 128 just north of Cloverdale, then 128 to 1, about 2 miles south of the town proper.

From the north, it's easiest to take Highway 1 south from highway 101 at near Garberville, through Fort Bragg. An alternate is taking state highway 20 west from Willits to Fort Bragg, then south to Mendocino.

Get around

The town is easily walkable, but you will want a car for visiting nearby beaches and sights. Mountain bikes are another fun option.

See

• A favorite pastime from February-April is whale-watching. Pods of Grey Whales are visible off the coast, migrating to and from their winter home in Mexico.
