Mendocino Area Directory: Westport

Westport is civilization’s northernmost outpost on the Mendocino Coast. Westport’s down-home charm is reminiscent of the rest of the Mendocino Coast 20 or 30 years ago, before it became such a destination for travelers.

Most visitors speed by Westport as they hurry north or south. But you might enjoy stopping for a few minutes or a few days to sample the rugged natural beauty that graces this sleepy town, investing it with a slower pace and off-the-beaten-track quality that makes Mendocino or Gualala seem like life in the fast lane.
