Located just three hours north of San Francisco is a small town with the biggest heart — Mendocino. Situated on a wind-swept, rocky coastline, this small town of 824 permanent residents offers visitors a glimpse of old-time California. Beautiful B&Bs, quaint restaurants, dive bars and incredible hikes make Mendocino one of San Franciscans’ favorite weekend getaway spots.
