Nestled on the Northern Coast of California just 15 miles north of Fort Bragg and 25 miles north of Mendocino sets a little town called Westport.

Once a bustling logging town in the 1800's, this treasured enclave of coastal splendor is for those who want a peaceful retreat. Beautiful beaches, fresh mountain streams, pasture lands with grazing cows and some llamas, and redwood forest are what you will find here.

Westport is not only a destination of quiet repose, but a restful state of mind where one can pick berries along a creek, fish for trout, and watch the sun sizzle into the Pacific. If you hike through the forest in the spring, you will find wild rhodedendrons twenty feet high in bloom, ferns some as tall as you are and some a lacy as a bridal dress.

Several state and private campgrounds, two inns, and Bill's grocery, bait store, and post office serve the tiny village and travelers. Highway 1 turns inland here and winds past the vanished town of Rockport, jumping-off spot for the famed Lost Coast, then through the forest to Leggett where it connects with Highway 101 toward Eureka. Special Note: the Hollywood film, "The Russians are Coming, the Russians are Coming" was shot here and the old general store was in some of the scenes.
