What the Bluff!
Hike Mendocino's Marquee Bluffs
Peanut butter and jelly, wine and cheese, Mendocino and bluff-side strolls… yep, it’s pretty much mandatory to pair your visit with a hike along Mendo’s marquee bluffs. Surrounding the town on three sides is Mendocino Headlands State Park.
Trails leave right from town and curve along the dramatic coastal bluffs, leading to a blowhole, a beach, and outcroppings with unforgettable views. Catch a sunset here, when the waves are transformed into a tangerine oasis and the town behind you looks like an old postcard photo painted in perfect indigo light.
STAY: Eco-friendly, food-friendly, dog-friendly, the Stanford Inn is all about creature and cozy comforts. It’s a sprawling four-diamond flagship where every room has an ocean view.
