Seeking Refuge in North Coast California

Above the fray, that is, above the bustling cities and well-known tourist attractions that give California its unshakable appeal and energy, is a region that’s capable of inspiring just as much excitement and maybe a little more rejuvenation.

The North Coast is for those of you who like things a certain way; the sunset should be spectacular and unobstructed, the forests should be expansive and impressive, and the night sky should shine brilliantly - unimpeded by the lights of the metropolis. If that sounds like your cup of tea, then there’s a cabin, cottage or house situated in the wilds of Northern California that’s waiting for you.

Clear Lake, Mendocino and Bodega Bay are a few spots that might resemble what you’re looking for; here you’ll be able to leave behind email inboxes and high heels in favor of fresh air and hiking boots. Explore the ruggedness and beachy beauty of the Sonoma Coast as well as the friendly small towns that have been used to film movies, host artists’ colonies and serve as the sites of music festivals and other special events.

Just because San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego are several miles to the south doesn’t mean there’s nothing to see up here. The seaside bluffs of Mendocino Headlands State Park as well as the ancient arbors of Humboldt Redwoods State Park show off the natural gifts of the region and will certainly leave you in a state of exhilaration as you hike, bike or paddle your way through an awesome landscape.

Head north, nuzzle up to the ocean and then take a look at the world from a different perspective – the view is pretty nice from the top, as you’ll soon see.
