Getting to Mendocino

Mendocino is a stunning coastal town, but it’s remote—so a rental car is highly recommended. The drive from any airport takes you through gorgeous wine country and redwood forests.

Parking is easy throughout town, and most lodging options have available parking.

Once in Mendocino, the village is very walkable, however, please note Lyft/Uber availability is very limited. A car is the best way to explore the surrounding areas.
