The Little River Inn is an ideal basecamp for exploring legendary Mendocino County. Rooms are perched above the Pacific near Van Damme State Beach, where four-paw explorers can walk in the waves and along paved roads that link campground sites.

On-leash hiking is also popular up the road at Big River State Beach, MacKerricher State Park or the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens. Marvel at 50 acres of blooms before a voyage on the Skunk Train. The dog-friendly staple departs from downtown Mendocino and chugs through towering ancient redwoods.
