Winter Visit
Maybe you thought that when the first storm blows in the North Coast closes its shutters and settles in for the winter. Well, we’re here to show you just how much you would miss by not planning an off-season trip to Fort Bragg. What if we said you could have a beach to yourself? Maybe a hike in the misty magic of a redwood grove in the rain. Whale watch. Deal shop. Or cozy up in your room with a fireplace and a view of the ocean. At Fort Bragg in the winter, without a lot of visitors, you’ll feel more like one of the locals. So, pack a few layers, your rain boots and knit cap and join us on a journey to enjoy Fort Bragg before the summer fog blows in and the crowds come back. Be sure to check in beforehand, however. Hours and policies can change because of Covid-19 restrictions.
Eat Fresh Chowder
Eat Fresh Chowder
Fort Bragg is a great place to warm your insides, too, especially down at the Noyo Harbor where the fishing boats come in, and especially now that crab season is finally in full gear. Pop in to Noyo Fish Company for chowder and a side of beer battered fried pickles. Silvers at The Wharf does clam chowder in a bread or, even better, garlic bread bowl. They do an equally bang up job with chowder at their sister restaurant, Mayan Fusion, located right downtown. And to add to the embarrassment of riches, find excellent freshly made chowders at Princess Seafood’s new location at the far end of the wharf and enjoy some chowder with a sweeping harbor view at the Noyo Harbor Inn.
