Fort Bragg: Affordable and uniquely dog-friendly

Northern California is known for dog-friendly adventures, and one destination really rolls out the red carpet for pups: Mendocino County. Coastal Fort Bragg is a great basecamp for exploring the region. You’ll find affordable nightly rates, modest pet fees, and standout amenities for furry family members at all three Beachcomber Hotel Group properties.

The Beachcomber Motel, Surf & Sand Lodge and Beach House Inn each offer a welcome kit for pups, plus dedicated dog play areas and convenient access to outdoor dining, Glass Beach, the Noyo Headlands Coastal Trail, the famous (and very dog-friendly!) Skunk Train, and the Mendocino coast Botanical Gardens.

Here are some of the best spots to grab a bite and cozy up for the night with your dog:

• The Beachcomber Motel, a true blufftop gem
• Surf & Sand Lodge, a soundtrack of crashing waves
• Beach House Inn, tranquility with a view
• Close by dog-friendly dining
