A visit to the secluded Mendocino coast is a study in nature, adventure and culture; an escape from harried lifestyles to a realm of self- discovery and renewal. As one traverses Highway 1 and dips down into Little River, just south of Mendocino, a display of quaint inns and restaurants dot the cliffs overlooking the Pacific and then just around a bend, Mendocino's storefronts and white New England- style church steeples unfold. Situated on the bluffs of the Mendocino Headlands, the character of this quaint town borrows from the East Coast heritage of its first settlers who started the mill town in 1852.
The redwoods still play an integral part in the appeal of Mendocino. To the East of town, is a dense redwood forest. To the West is only headlands and ocean as far as the eye can see. This impressive location lends to the numerous adventures awaiting visitors. Among the possibilites are canoeing, bicycling, horseback riding, horse-drawn carriage rides through Mendocino, golf, tennis, scuba diving and chartered fishing excursions.
For those who prefer to just relax and take in the magnificent ocean views, there are several stretches of beach and headlands to wander about, have a picnic or view the whales (seasonal) and harbor seals. Four state parks are within a half hour drive of town. These parks offer walking trails through redwood laced fern canyons, across creeks, along pristine beaches and even to a waterfall. Visitors are also drawn to Mendocino for its emphasis on culture. Present day Mendocino has a strong commitment to the arts with the center piece being the Art Center and its showcase gallery on Main Street where the works of its talented students and graduates are displayed. Offering a wide variety of classes, workshops, festivals, fairs and entertainment to the public, the Center is the cultural hub of the North Coast. Mendocino hosts many private galleries as well, which offer a wide selection of local artists and media, including paintings, wood carvings and furniture, wire sculpture, ceramics and weaving, to mention but a few.
The performing arts also play an important role in the life of the Mendocino community year-round. The Mendocino Theater Company, the Gloriana Opera Company, the Warehouse Repertory Theater, Mendocino Music Festival and the Symphony of the Redwoods are a few of the groups providing a wealth of entertainment and cultural activity. There are many fine restaurants in Mendocino which offer creative and gourmet meals. Food for every taste is offered in a variety of unique and intimate settings, from French to California cuisine. One could spend a full week in Mendocino and eat at a different recommended restaurant every night.
The innkeepers at the Joshua Grindle Inn are more than happy to reserve theater tickets, recommend restaurants or excursions. Locals are also very friendly and more than happy to provide suggestions on great places to shop or even where to watch the whales. Abundant nature and culture combined with small-town ambience give Mendocino its reputation for being a "jewel" or as the San Diego Union-Tribune called it in 1992, "a magical....gentle place." Many famous authors, musicians and artists have found their inspiration on the Mendocino Coast. Every day, guests of the Joshua Grindle Inn go home equally inspired. |

"T he Joshua Grindle Inn...is different from so many other bed and breakfasts in the whitewashed North Coast town. Maybe it's the water tower. Or the extra attention to detail. Or simply the New England elegance that graces the property..."

"... enjoyed another great weekend at JGI! The service, establishment, and food was impeccable, as always. Everytime I go back, I think it was so perfect, it couldn't get better. But, Charles and Cindy really put the perfect in perfectionism!
Janice, Sunnyvale
"Wanted to thank you all for a wonderful stay last weekend. You must be doing something right, because returning to reality was quite a shock! I was going to email you for your Mandarin Almond French Toast recipe, then found it on your website! What you are doing is really impressive - - subtly enhancing an aesthetically enjoyable experience with high technology, without affecting the ambiance. It is a true artform, and you have mastered it! Thanks again. "
