If you are one of those who enjoy the silent sound of waves crashing at the shore and unending canvas of greenery, u should definitely visit Mendocino. I was lucky enough to visit this place twice, one as recent as last week and first one was around 9 years ago. I was surprised to see that nothing has changed in the 9 years, beaches are still less crowded, mountains still spiraling with tall Redwood tress! I guess Mendocino's remote location works for it's benefit. It is around 188 miles north of San Francisco and it is quite a drive. If you do not mind driving that far, i can assure you that you are in for a treat. Beautiful mountains, beaches and unending trails on the sea coast will be welcoming you.
We stayed at
Koa Kampgrounds which is located next to the Manchester State Beach. Some useful tips for the lucky folks who get to go there soon :-)
1) Dont' forget to check out Point Arena Light house at

2) Glass Beach in FortBragg
3) For best view of Mendocino - Exit the village heading South, go over the bridge, turn West at your first right. Proceed South, look for signs on Oceanside of Brewery Gulch Drive
4) Frankie's Pizza & Cream is good for bites.
