POINT ARENA and HARBOR

Point Arena, located 90 miles north of San Francisco, is a small city with a "small town personality". The population today is around 500. It can be reached from the east by State Highway 20 and State Highway 128 and from the north/south by state Highway One. Rarely does the temperature go over 89 degrees, however days can be windy and winter storms fierce and exciting.

Visitors can escape the summer heat and stay in a motel, the Coast Guard House bed and breakfast or the picturesque Wharfmasters lodge on a hilltop overlooking it all. Nearby are RV campgrounds, State Parks and the Stornetta National Recreation Area as well as romantic Point Arena Lighthouse. Fancy to traditional restaurants satisfy appetites from vegetarian to steaks and seafood. The working harbor is a great place to visit with a coffee shop, pizza cafe and upstairs bar and grill with fabulous oceanviews.
