The 47-acre Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens offer everything from colorful displays to thunderous waves — a great place to walk! The mild maritime climate makes it a garden for all seasons, attracting gardeners, birders (154 species) and nature lovers. Flower-filled coastal bluffs overlooking the blue Pacific Ocean are among the many attractions.
Whale watchers can take shelter in the Cliff House to view winter and spring migrations, while others will delight in the birds that live in or visit the Gardens annually. Serious birders will come to see the Oyster Catchers.
The main trails at the Gardens are wheelchair-accessible out to the ocean. Electric carts are provided for guests with special needs on a first-come, first-served basis. You are welcome to bring a picnic to enjoy on the grounds. Well-mannered dogs on leashes are also welcome.
Admission: $7.50 adults, $6 seniors, $3 teens, and $1 children.
