Westport, located 145 miles north of San Francisco, is a coastal village with a "tiny town personality",
which lies on the southern edge of the fabled "LOST COAST". The population is 100 plus. It can be reached
from the north/south by State Highway 1 and from the east by the remote Branscomb Road. Rarely does the
temperature go over 89 degrees, however days can be windy and winter storms fierce and exciting. Today
Westport is a peaceful community to visIt or spend the night. A good selection of food is available at
the Westport Store and you can dine or spend the night at the Westport Hotel and Old Abalone Pub (est 1890),
Lost Coast Vista Inn, or Howard Creek Ranch. Campgrounds are to the north at Wages Creek and Westport
Union Landing State Park.
