Things to Do
Activities in Coastal Mendocino are inspired by nature. At the
Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens, delicate plant species thrive on 47 acres of coastal land of canyons, wetlands, coastal bluffs, and forests.
You can tour the Point Arena Lighthouse, which dates back to 1908, ascending 115 feet up a winding staircase to witness 360-degree views of the surrounding area.
The Kelley House Museum is also a must-see. Built for the affluent Kelley family that settled in Mendocino at the end of the 19th century, this property has been restored and converted into a museum. Its mission is to preserve local history and guard the cultural heritage and architecture of the Mendocino coast.
Residents and visitors to the Mendocino Coast can also ride a Skunk Train through the stately California redwoods. Called skunks because of their pungent fumes, these classic trains take visitors on a four-hour trip through the Northern California mountains.
