No visitor who sees the village of Mendocino rising out of the mists in the morning can remain immune to her charms for long. This quaint town is unique in all of Northern California, perhaps in all the world. Many compare the charms of Mendocino to a New England sea coast hamlet but few places on earth can boast the rare combination of scenic beauty, artistic flare, exquisite cuisine, world class shopping, and friendly locals found here.
