Elk, California: Cozy Hamlet on Quiet Mendocino Coast

Set on the shoreline of northern California just south of Mendocino, the quiet town of Elk is awash in small-town charm. Pastel cottages perch along the coastal ridge, and an artists' collective serves as home to 28 local artists, whose output spills onto a front lawn dotted with delicate bronze sculptures and weathered wood carvings. Overflowing thickets of both wildflowers and cultivated blooms perfume the air, and crashing ocean waves express their own artistry along the coast of the Mendocino Headlands State Park, carving basins and sculpting arches along the coast.

The oceanside bluffs also provide ideal lookouts for whale watching. The 50-foot-long leviathans journey southward in January, and upon their return in March, the area welcomes them back with a series of whale festivals. Not to be outdone, the region's wineries also organize numerous wine festivals throughout the year, where vintners showcase local vintages with tastings, competitions, and educational events. Travelers can also drive down the 128 into Anderson Valley to go straight to the source, hopping from one bucolic, rolling vineyard to the next.
