Frolic Cove and its seasonal waterfall

For hikers who seek off-the-beaten-track experiences, Mendocino's Frolic Cove and Shipwreck Trail fits the bill. The unmarked trailhead is at the dead end of Vega Road in a residential neighborhood. You might think you're on a private path, but you'll soon find an official sign and some thoughtfully placed pallets and boardwalks for crossing the muddy portions of the path that let you know you're on the right track. The trail winds to the edge of a bluff with gorgeous views of the ocean and a harrowing staircase that heads straight down. Carefully descend to an isolated, rocky cove where, in 1850, the clipper ship Frolic crashed, sending its cargo of housewares into the surf. No one died that day, but local looters helped themselves to a bounty of modern conveniences that washed up on the shore. When you've finished taking in the uncommonly dramatic views from the cove (and the waterfall that gushes here during the rainy season), head back up to the trail where dozens of curious ground squirrels will escort you along the bluff to the Point Cabrillo Lighthouse for a satisfying, two-mile round-trip hike.

Belgian lace on your glass — Like John Capone

I’m slightly ashamed to admit it, but a few years ago, I didn’t like beer. The North Coast Brewing Company changed my mind. This is the first place I tell people to go when they visit Fort Bragg. The food is exceptional pub grub served in a laid-back atmosphere. An adjoining gift shop also serves as a museum—paying homage to one of the first new-wave microbreweries in the United States. The beer is the star, though, and a twelve-beer sampler is the perfect way to become better acquainted. If you spend much time in Mendocino County, you’ll inevitably see people sporting a shirt with the jarring image of the unkillable Old Rasputin emblazoned on it, referencing North Coast’s award-winning, whopping 9% Imperial Stout that is worth a three-hour drive in its own right. Two Belgian styles, a Dublin style, wheat beer, two other stouts, and an assortment of other beers round out the offering and ensure there’s something for everyone—even a reformed beer abstainer who has since seen the light.

Amazing Gardens — Like Brendan McGuigan

Laura Ashley’s cabbage-rose design aesthetic lives on at Mendocino inns: lace curtains and flowered wallpaper are the norm. Stanford Inn bucks the trend. The rooms are in modern buildings with wood-burning fireplaces, knotty-pine-paneled walls, excellent soundproofing, and balconies overlooking gorgeous gardens and a horse paddock. The ocean lies in the distance, its roar never out of ear shot. Town is a ten-minute walk away, but there are free bicycles to get you there faster. The inn’s organic gardens provide food for the vegetarian dining room, the Ravens.

Spaces in-between at the Annenburge

There is so much amazing free art in LA, and this is a prime example. They change their exhibits regularly, and I've been to every one so far. The space is quite beautiful in itself, and the exhibits are always worth it. Mostly inspiring and invigorating, I leave feeling infused with creativity. The space is always free to visit, with a small $1 parking charge.
