You‘ll need a car to get to the area. We recommend taking Highway 101 to either Route 20 or Route 128. Shoreline Highway, also known as Highway 1, is stunningly beautiful, but the road is narrow and extremely curvy.
For those flying in, we highly recommend flying into Charles M. Schulz–Sonoma County Airport (STS) if possible, as it's the closest airport to the Mendocino coast. SFO and OAK are also nearby but will add 1.5 hours to your drive time.
