Getting Here
- Directions to
- the Southern Mendocino Coast
|
Warning! Some
internet mapping sources show Fish Rock Road as being the best way to get here. Wrong! Fish Rock Road is
28 miles of narrow, winding dirt road that takes over an hour to drive in a sportscar. This
road is not recommended for trailers or motorhomes. The instruction below describe the
best way to get here. If you don't like Highway One, maybe you'll come back as a bird in
your next life!
From San Francisco:
Drive north on Highway 101 to the Washington Street exit at Petaluma. Turn left
and head west. This street will change names to Bodega Avenue, Valley Ford Road, and
eventually merge to become Highway One. Continue westward to Bodega Bay following Highway
One as it turns northward along the coast. Anchor Bay is 4 miles north of Gualala. Look
for our big sign on Highway One. Expect
a lot of winding road, but there still is no better or faster or more beautiful route. It
takes about 2 3/4 hours by sportscar from the Golden Gate Bridge to Anchor Bay. Add time
for RVs, scenery, and lunch.
From Sacramento:
Drive west on Interstate 80 to the Highway 37 exit to Vallejo. Stay on 37 through Vallejo
to the stoplight at Lakeville Road (about 15 miles). Turn right and drive into Petaluma to
make a left onto Washington Street and head west through town. This street will change
names to Bodega Avenue, Valley Ford Road, and eventually merge to become Highway One.
Continue westward to Bodega Bay following Highway One as it turns northward along the
coast. Anchor Bay is 4 miles north of Gualala. Look for our big sign on Highway One. Expect a lot
of winding road, but there still is no better or faster or more beautiful route. It takes
about 4 hours by sportscar from Sacramento to Anchor Bay. Add time for RVs, scenery, and
lunch.
