As a visitor you may be headed to our rugged coastline, which has been a draw for filmmakers, artists, visitors and folks looking to relocate. Many remember that the television show Murder, She Wrote was filmed in the town of Mendocino, or that the film Overboard was filmed in Noyo Harbor. We have a rich history of filmmaking on the Mendocino Coast and throughout the county of Mendocino. Depending on the route you take to get to the Mendocino Coast, you will be amazed at the diverse landscape along the way. You will likely see rolling hills with gnarled oak trees, old rustic barns with sheep, cows and horses roaming the open space, giant redwood trees, meandering rivers, vineyards, apple orchards and the amazing Pacific Ocean. The majority of visitors to our county seek to visit the Mendocino Coast. Many discover the redwood forests found along Highway 20 and Highway 128 when traveling west from Highway 101, plus the beautiful wine country along Highway 128 and a solar beer brewery in the town of Boonville. Up and down our coastline, on Highway 128 and Comptche-Ukiah Road, are amazing state parks, plus towns and communities with architecture from days gone by. Our county coastline borders Sonoma County to the south and Humboldt County to the north.

3 If you take Highway 1 from the south you will first enter Mendocino County in the artistic town of Gualala, which hugs the coastline and has great small shops and restaurants. Driving north through Anchor Bay, you will find yourself in Point Arena, one of four incorporated cities in the county. Point Arena has a pier, an art deco-style theater, some Victorian architecture, and the Point Arena Lighthouse, just to name a few highlights. As you continue north you will be dazzled by the beautiful scenery the Mendocino Coast offers. Manchester Beach, Irish Beach, Elk, Navarro, Albion, Little River, the artistic and historic town of Mendocino, Caspar, Noyo Harbor, the city of Fort Bragg, Cleone, Westport, and Leggett are full of beauty, charm, and cultural and historic points of interest. Our communities continue to find ways to become more sustainable, green and organic. Mendocino County leads the world in organic wine-growing, with more than 3,500 acres of certified, organically-farmed wine grapes. Growing organic means growers have taken better care of their vineyard soils. Organic farming is also popular for fruits and vegetables in our county and, on the Mendocino Coast, many restaurants utilize these locally grown and organic ingredients. With such a large and diverse area we hope that you will come back time and time again to enjoy all that is here. The Mendocino Coast Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center is here to help guide you to lodging, restaurants, activities, shopping, and services. We have more than 550 members in our database, and our extensive website is a great resource for your trip planning. Go to to learn more about all we have to offer. Once you arrive on the coast, we have a great Visitor Center located at 217 South Main Street, in Fort Bragg. We are open Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. 5:00 p.m. and on Saturdays 9:00 a.m. 3:00 p.m. (closed for lunch 12:00 p.m. 12:30 p.m.). We hope to see you soon!

But slow down and you ll find a store for picnic supplies, a hotel that offers meals and lodging, and an area rich in logging history. An active local community, organized as the Westport Village Society, wants to make sure their town and history aren t forgotten. Each year, the Westport Village Society sponsors an annual Mother s Day toy duck race. The Westport Volunteer Fire Department hosts lively barbecues and other events throughout the year. 65 Nearby, you ll find the state s northernmost winery and several bed-and-breakfast inns that provide a cozy respite and gateway to exploring the 7,500-acre 135 Heath and Marjorie Angelo Coast Range Preserve, or a hike along the Lost Coast in Sinkyone Wilderness State Park. 134 The beaches, big cliffs and state parks north and south of Westport provide 180-degree ocean views that are nothing short of spectacular. On a clear day you can see the Lost Coast to the north and Fort Bragg headlands to the south. From here, Highway 1 heads north for six more miles before it turns inland and east toward Highway 101.

Located in historic Mendocino County, it is the largest town on the scenic coast between San Francisco and Eureka. This growing, prosperous city offers a unique blend of natural resources, recreation, and scenery. Fort Bragg, once a booming logging town, is now a hub for state parks and reserves. The area s Mendocino Coast Botanical Garden is one of only two such gardens in the continental United States fronting directly on an ocean. The famous Skunk Train takes visitors from Fort Bragg or Willits on a route through the redwoods that is accessible only by railroad. Those looking for special adventures will find that Fort Bragg s location offers an array of appealing activities including whale watching, sport fishing, kayaking, and beachcombing, along with bird-watching, horseback riding, hiking and biking.

11 Population: 2,223 Picturesque Seaside Village Mendocino Mendocino village is situated on a peninsula and surrounded on three sides by picturesque wildflowercovered bluffs and crashing surf. Established in the 1850s, many of the New England-style Victorians here have been lovingly restored into romantic bedand-breakfast inns, world class restaurants and quaint shops. Best known as Cabot Cove, Maine, in the TV show Murder, She Wrote, the village is actually a national historic preservation district. A brochure to guide you on a walking tour of historic houses is available on Main Street at the Ford House, the visitor center for the Mendocino Headlands State Park. Guides can also be obtained at the Kelley House Museum on Albion Street. Big River Beach, just below the village, is a popular spot for walking, and it s a great place to view or photograph spectacular sunsets. A state park trail east along Big River is popular for watching wildlife, walking, running, and riding bicycles and horses. You can also paddle upriver for miles in a kayak or canoe. Or, just stroll and shop on Main Street where you will enjoy sweeping ocean views, including watching gray whales during their annual migration from December to April. Just north of Mendocino is Point Cabrillo Light Station State Historic Park with a working lighthouse, marine exhibit, gift shop and two museums. (Business Locator Map on page 17)

13 Picturesque Seaside Village Mendocino History: Fast Facts Named Boodle ( a place where river meets the sea ) by the local Pomo Indians, Mendocino was briefly known as Meiggsville during the early days of the first lumber mill built by Henry Meiggs of San Francisco. Meiggs and New England lumberman Jerome Ford first came to the area in search of salvage from the Frolic, a Baltimore clipper bound for San Francisco that wrecked a few miles north at what is now Point Cabrillo Light Station State Historic Park. Meiggs and Ford found no salvage but discovered something of far more value: the forests of redwood trees. A mill was established a short time later, and the town was later named Mendocino City.

19 Population: 1,035 Tiny Community, Big Heart Albion Like all the rural communities that dot the Mendocino Coast, Albion has a unique personality, a place with its own history and community.

Located between the towns of 1 Elk and Mendocino, Albion had its start in 1853 when English sea captain William Richardson built a home and a sawmill. Although the mill was active for some seventy-five years, the town remained small. Albion is also home to the last wooden bridge in operation along the Pacific Coast Highway, the Albion River Bridge, which was constructed from salvaged wood during World War 1 II Numbers on maps correspond with numbers in red above ads and next to Directory listings. 19

20 Anderson Valley Population: 1,370 Breathtaking Farmland and Artisan Farms Buried deep within northern California s coastal redwood groves, Anderson Valley provides a beautiful setting with lush greenery that is ideal for wineries and farming. The drive in and through the valley is one of the most breathtaking in California, moving from rolling, oak-covered hills in the east, to pastureland, vineyards and orchards in the valley proper and culminating in towering redwoods at the west end, then opening out to the vast Pacific Ocean. If you stop and stay in the valley, you are likely to hear the old 4 slang language being bantered about. Boontling (the language of Boonville ), a peculiar lingo that was created to be used in private conversation by valley farmers in the 1880s, grew to be the primary language in the valley over the next forty years, and it can still be found, if you know where to look and listen. Anderson Valley offers a chance to experience some extraordinary cuisine. There is excellent lamb and grain-fed beef, possibly even some local wild game like venison, quail or wild turkey. There are more than a dozen varieties of apples still grown here, as well as 4 pears, olives, grapes, and wild mushrooms. And, of course, there are a wide variety of beverages created here, from delicious beers, delectable wines, and sumptuous ciders, all made by world-class artisans. 20 Parks Faulkner County Park Three miles southwest of Boonville on Mountain View Road Hendy Woods State Park Philo-Greenwood Road, Philo Indian Creek County Park Highway 128, Philo Mailliard Redwoods State Reserve Fish Rock Road, Yorkville Paul Dimmick State Recreation Area Highway 128, six miles west of Navarro

In a few short blocks are inns, restaurants, a community center and post office, shops, a history museum, state park and spectacular sea stacks with views that rival California s Big Sur coast. Elk is known for its romance, and many couples choose to hold their wedding here. Manchester State Park takes its name from the village of Manchester, located on Highway 1 about seven miles north of Point Arena. This is an area of rich grazing land where flocks of sheep and herds of cattle add a pastoral note to some of the most spectacular coastal scenery in the world. The works of man are definitely secondary to pounding surf, screeching gulls, and grazing animals that dominate the scene. Manchester includes a post office, the Manchester Grange, and a multi-use store with groceries, building supplies and general merchandise.
