One of the most beautiful trails I have been to, running along the Pacific Ocean and the cliffs and rocky beaches. The scenery is breathtaking all along and there are in roads from the main trail that take you closer to the sea. There are numerous coves, tidal pools, sandy stretches and wherever one points a camera the photos are calendar perfect !

Hiking Mendocino is always a beautiful adventure. Especially this trail all along the headlands of Mendocino. Take the whole trail or just do a portion, either way you're going to love it.

Easy 3-mile hike, part of Mendocino Headlands State Park has stunning coastal views, natural sea arches, a cool blowhole, and tidepools. You can even stroll to Big River Beach. Multiple access points and free parking make it super convenient. Perfect for capturing stunning shots!

We went on a little walk here yesterday and it was so beautiful. Loved seeing the water and a few holes in a rock with water flowing through it. I found a few rock things that could have been totem poles at some point. We got to walk down to this beach that had tons of wood around. Different shapes and all. It was pretty cool. I would definitely walk this trail again.

Point Mendocino Trail is very scenic trail around the cute little town Mendocino. It's like a u-shape trail, which starts from one end of the town and ends on the other. There is plenty of parking, trail has many entrances, and it's for all age levels. There are benches at few places so take a moment and enjoy the natural beauty! Morning times and or evening hikes are just gorgeous!
