The Skunk Train

The Skunk Train is one of the most popular visitor attractions in California’s North Coast and considered to be one of the ten most scenic rail trips in North America. A time traveler from the last century would feel quite at home riding on California Western Railroad’s Skunk Train today. The view is all but unchanged: towering trees, deer drinking from the Noyo River, an isolated fisherman's cabin peeking from the forest. Trains depart from both Fort Bragg and Willits.

Glass Beach, Fort Bragg

Glass Beach is one of the most unique beaches in the world. Years of pounding wave action have deposited tons of polished glass onto the beach. Glass Beach also has a very interesting array of tide pools to explore. Crabs, mollusks, and many aquatic plants make their homes in these ever changing environments. It is very easy to spend your whole day poking around the tide pools and watching the busy little worlds that go on inside each one.

Point Cabrillo Light Station

The Point Cabrillo Preserve, a unit of California State Parks, includes the historic 1909 Light Station (30.5 acres), and approximately 270 acres of undeveloped coastal bluffs and prairie. The buildings have won awards for their meticulous restoration and are worth a visit by themselves, in addition to being an excellent vantage point for watching wayward whales.
