Mendocino CA United States of America

Mendocino (Spanish for "of Mendoza") is an unincorporated community in Mendocino County, California, United States. Mendocino is located 9.5 miles (15 km) south of Fort Bragg, at an elevation of 154 feet (47 m). The population of the census-designated place (CDP) was 894 at the 2010 census, up from 824 at the 2000 census. The town's name comes from Cape Mendocino, named by early Spanish navigators in honor of Antonio de Mendoza, Viceroy of New Spain. Despite its small size, the town's scenic location on a headland surrounded by the Pacific Ocean has made it extremely popular as an artists' colony and with vacationers. With its spectacular cliffs overlooking a metallic blue sea, this coastal village is a natural magnet for artists, romantics and lovers of the wild and rugged. As the closest point to the California town of New England, Mendocino allows you to stroll near beautiful old two-storey cottages wrapped in roses and wooden fences, and wind chimes ringing in the breeze. This tucked-away town wasn't always so charming and quiet: during the logging boom of the mid- to late 1800s, Mendocino was bustling with people and commerce, a thriving port full of saloons and bustling hotels. Now, luxurious accommodations welcome you and invite you to curl up by the fire; restaurants serve freshly caught seafood and local organic wines; and galleries showcase high-end art and crafts. Festivals are many and often celebrate the region's bounty, whether it's sweet Dungeness crab, craft beers or mushrooms in winter.
