Within a few minutes of one another are sunlit valleys, fertile vineyards, rocky headlands blanketed by fog, and serene forests of old-growth redwoods. The Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens showcase the area’s geographical diversity through prickly succulents and colorful blooms stretching to the ocean.Partially because of its scenic land and sea scapes, the coast is popular with painters, who gather in artists’ collectives such as the Mendocino Art Center. Visitors can see the land that inspires local artwork by heading to any of the region’s coastal state parks. At Mendocino Headlands State Park, waves crash into grottos and stony bluffs, and MacKerricher State Park has dramatic sand dunes.
