Romantic Getaway: Sea Rock Inn

Sea Rock Inn is, as the name suggests, overlooks the sea, in Mendocino, California. Here you can get a cottage or a suite on a hillside with a sweeping view of the ocean. As you sit and look out over your view, the sincere beauty of the coast will stroke your senses. The stunning panoramic view of the water, the dramatic rocky cliffs of the Mendocino Headlands State Park are impressive to say the least. ??At The Sea Rock Inn, Susie Plocher, proprietor, agrees that the eye-catching surrounding is a perfect memorable getaway. One may choose a suite, junior suite, or cottage with the rates running from $179 to $375. This price includes a delicious breakfast.

Your visit to The Sea Rock Inn would not be complete without taking advantage of their soothing Spa treatments.

Exploring the region can easily take 3 to 5 days. Mendocino, by land, you can hike on the Mendocino trail, explore on horseback, go golfing, mountain bike the trail, or take a lighthouse tour. Mendocino, by sea, kayak or canoe the coast, take a whale watching excursion, sport fish the rivers and coast, or make like a Californian and go surfing! Mendocino not only boasts magnificent coastal views, but also features outstanding gourmet cuisine, diverse cultural opportunities, plenty of interesting visitor attractions, great shopping and a myriad of activities for the active traveler. There are also the area wineries to discover. The history of Mendocino winemaking dates from mid-1800’s so by now they certainly have it down. The county has over 40 wineries, most still owned by small family farmers. Many of the local wineries will offer tours and wine tasting along the 128 Highway. One great time of year to visit the coast is in September when the Mendocino Coast Hospital and Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens have the auction fundraiser Winesong! After a full day of exploration, take a leisurely walk through the colorful gardens, stroll to town, curl up by the fireplace, relax at the spa or watch the spectacular sunset from your deck. You’ve earned a richly deserved rest, so put your feet up and let the sounds of the ocean lull you and erase the stress while you enjoy...
