Summer To-Do List On The Coast

We're just a hop, skip and a jump away from the Mendocino Coast. And there's a lot to do on the way! Try a few of these local favorites:

Highway 128-Winery Way

Goldeneye, Domain Anderson, Scharffenberger, Navarro, Rogederer Estate, Handley are just a few wineries you can hit up on your way to the coast.

Navarro River State Beach

Picnic, swim and watch waves or sea lions as the mighty Navarro River meets the sea. Dog-friendly beach is a great place to build a fire (follow the regulations) and watch the sun go down.
