 The
Mendocino Coast covers a large area (north to south) and is
comprised of many towns and villages. Listing directions and
mileage to each of them would be impractical; we have chosen,
instead, to show them all as leading to Mendocino, a central point
on the long coastal line. Reader-travelers may adjust their
particular destinations -- north or south -- to the Mendocino
location shown in the directions below.
Towns
or villages north of Mendocino are: Caspar (4 miles); Fort Bragg
(8 miles); Cleone (13); Westport (24). South of Mendocino are:
Little River (3 miles); Albion (7); Elk (18): Irish Beach (22);
Manchester (28); Point Arena (33); Anchor Bay (43); Gualala (46).
