Mendocino Outdoors: 3rd Edition of Premier Coastal Guidebook
The newly-released Third Edition of Mendocino Outdoors sets a new standard for Mendocino Coast guidebooks. Completely rewritten and expanded from the previous edition, Mendocino Outdoors is your guide to outdoor activities on the Mendocino Coast. It covers all of the parks and preserves in the area, from the Lost Coast to Gualala, plus some inland jaunts to the wine country and some of the tallest trees in the world. The guide is filled with full-color maps of all the areas described in the book, as well as photographs to show you why you want to visit the various locations. Click on any example image below to see samples of the book. The book is laid out in pairs of pages, where the left page describes the park or location, and the right page shows a map of the location.
Rounding out the book is a generous helping of practical info for visitors, such as locations of banks, grocery stores, pharmacies, mechanics, towing services, and more. It also describes the many activities, services, and lodging establishments that welcome pets.
The book is $16.95 per copy, plus $3 for shipping. We also charge California Sales Tax (7.25%) for California residents. Our sales are processed using PayPal.
If you’re already in the area, you can purchase a copy at the North Coast Brewing Co, the Skunk Train, Cheshire Books, the Point Cabrillo Lighthouse, Gallery Bookshop, Ford House Visitor Center, Out of this World, Big River Trading Company, and the Kelley House Museum. Many local lodging establishments carry it, as well, including Mendocino Hotel, Whitegate Inn, Alegria Inn, Joshua Grindle Inn, Stevenswood, Glendeven, Little River Inn, Inn at Schoolhouse Creek, Surf Motel and Gardens, and Surf and Sand Lodge.
