From on-site organic gardens and Noyo Harbor fishing village scenes to Fort Bragg murals, the pup-friendly Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens, and off-leash playgrounds like Noyo Beach, exploring the North Coast promises fun for furry friends and the humans who follow. The famous Skunk Train and several state parks are a short drive from the Noyo Harbor Inn, too.
