Gualala lies within the "banana belt", a nearly fogless microclimate involving about five miles of coastline from Gualala thru Anchor Bay. While the wind blows onshore for the rest of the coast it is practically offshore here, keeping the fog from drifting in. When the marine layer of fog blankets the coastline, to the north and south, Gualala often basks under clear blue skies watching the huge bank of fog offshore.

The village of Gualala lies at the southernmost edge of Mendocino County along Shoreline Highway One and perches on the bluffs overlooking the Gualala River and the Pacific Ocean beyond. Just 3/4 mile east of Highway One is the magnificent Gualala Arts Center, which hosts ongoing art openings and exhibits, concerts and live theatrical productions, lectures, classes and both artsrelated & community events.

The beautiful Gualala River runs to the sea right in front of the village, and is home to river otter, osprey, egret, heron and many varieties of flora. Along the coast you can even see migrating whales from time to time.

The famous Sea Ranch Golf Course, a Scottish style course, is just a mile or so away. A great, scenic round of 18 holes in a grand north coast of California setting ! Other Activities
kayaking, wildlife viewing, art gallerying. SeaWatch is a stone's throw from Physical Gym if you need to get in that workout or Four Eyed Frog Bookstore to pick up a good read. Famed Gualala Art Center which hosts ongoing art openings and exhibits, concerts and live theatrical productions, lectures, classes and both artsrelated & community events, is just 23 miles away. The beautiful Gualala River runs to the sea right in front of the village, and is home to river otter, osprey, egret, heron and many varieties of flora.

Present day Mendocino has a strong commitment to the arts with the focal point being the Art
Center, three blocks from the Inn. The Center and its Showcase gallery on Main Street display the
works of the students and graduates of its programs. 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 numerous 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 yearround. The Mendocino Theater Company, Gloriana Opera Company, Mendocino Dance Series, Warehouse Repertory Theater and The Mendocino Music Festival 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 interesting and intimate settings, from French to California cuisine. A person could spend a full week in Mendocino and eat at a different restaurant every night, each with a wonderful selection on the menu. The Joshua Grindle Inn has a book complete with menus from all the best restaurants in the area, and our innkeepers are delighted to make lunch or dinner recommendations and reservations. Mendocino is not only a special place because of its fine galleries and restaurants, but is also known for the jewellike quality of the scenery and its "small town" culture. The village is set on the edge of a rugged coastline overlooking a wide expanse of the Pacific Ocean. To the west, the view is of the headlands and ocean, and to the east is dense redwood forest. Mendocino has been called a "magical. . . gentle place" (San Diego UnionTribune, June 8, 1992). The smalltown atmosphere is both relaxing and reassuring. People on the street are happy to recommend a favorite restaurant, to tell you about a great place to shop, or even, where to watch the seals. It is not surprising that the Mendocino area has such a romantic pull on the imagination. Many people come here to honeymoon or to retreat from city pressures. The pace is easy without distractions of modern life, and many find time to enjoy the peace and quiet and the salty tang of the sea air. The Joshua Grindle Inn is a place to curl up with a good book by a glowing fire or simply walk down a quiet path. The grandeur of the scenery revitalizes the spirit, giving one the chance to relax and enjoy life in a "New England" setting that time forgot.
