Fort Bragg is located 10 miles north of Mendocino on the coast of northern California. This sprawling town has seen much expansion in the last ten years and much of that has been to accommodate the rise in tourism in the area. The cliffs and jagged rocks sticking out of the ocean waters make this one of the most scenic areas in the state. A good number of new stores have begun to pop up in town and are designed with the traveling shopper in mind. Along the streets you will find everything from antique stores to stores specializing in shells and fossils. Fort Bragg is in a perfect location to view the redwood forests, which may be accessed by car or by train tour. Kayaking and fishing gear is available in Fort Bragg for those that want to get out on the water. Along the shoreline and just north of town is the MacKerricher State Park. This park has some spectacular views and there are many trails for hiking and bicycling. Back in town there are good restaurants at which you can regain your energy for another big day. The closest commercial airports to Fort Bragg are Sonoma County Airport (STS, 90miles) and Arcata Airport (ACV, 100miles).
