Lose your sense of time while meandering the many paths of this botanical garden, one of only a few public gardens that front an ocean shore. Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens offers everything from colorful floral displays to thunderous waves. The mild maritime climate makes it a garden for all seasons, attracting gardeners and nature lovers alike. With manicured formal gardens, a dense coastal pine forest, native flora and habitats, fern-covered canyons, camellias, rhododendrons, magnolias and conifers, heaths and heathers, and flower-filled coastal bluffs overlooking the blue ocean, the garden is a jewel on the Pacific Coast. Stop in at Rhody’s Café for a bite and a drink.
