10 EASY WEEKEND GETAWAYS IN CALIFORNIA

AFAR

“Mendocino Grove is a peaceful glamping retreat on the Northern California coats.

The Mendocino coast is no secret weekend getaway spot. While most visitors will focus on exploring the coastal town of Mendocino and its surrounds, there’s much to be discovered along the 90+ miles of Mendocino’s coastline. That said, if it’s your first time in the area, base yourself in the small town of Mendocino—beaten path or not, its proximity to trails, beaches, restaurants, and small locally run shops make it a must on any California getaway list. Or explore a new stretch of the coast, like the small town of Elk and nearby Salt Point State Park to the south of Mendocino. …” — Jessie Beck, Tim Chester
