WOW!!!  There really is a ton of stuff to do on the Mendocino Coast.  Especially if you like the outdoors.  Here are a few of our suggestions. Another resource is The Mendocino Outdoor Guide. Check it out and follow them on social media for current outdoor happenings in Mendocino County.

Walking - Fort Bragg has lots of coastal paths for walking.  Noyo Headlands Park, Glass Beach, Pomo Bluffs, and Mackerricher are several with views of areas that we may be paddling.

Tidepools - consult a tide chart and go at low tide - Mackerricher State Park is our favorite tidepool spot.

Hiking -  lots of options.  Russian Gulch State Park is one of our local favorites.

Giant Redwoods - Montgomery Woods is a bit off the beaten path but has a beautiful stand of old growth redwoods including some of the largest trees in the world.

Biking - Cruise on along the ocean on the Old Haul Road or Mountain Bike in Jackson State Forest.  Check with our friends at Fort Bragg Cyclery or Boonville Bike Works.

Whale Watching - December-April is the annual Gray Whale migration.  See these gentle giants cruise along the coast from shore or from boat.  We see them from our kayaks but also check with Captain Tim at All Aboard Adventures for whale watching tours.

Birding - of course we recommend a kayak tour with us but also check with our friends in the Mendocino Coast Audubon Society
