Coastline with just about everything it could offer: Sea-eroded "natural bridges," tide pools, vistas begging to be photographed. (AND: bluffs unmarred by hand railings, fences and "caution" signs.

Mendocino is the place where they (partly) filmed the tv-show "Murder she wrote" and that is the reason we wanted to visit it again.
