Fort Bragg, California, is a windswept coastal town along Mendocino County’s rugged shoreline, where the Pacific crashes against sea cliffs and history lingers in the salt air. Once a bustling logging and fishing hub, it’s now best known for its wild beaches, tidepools, and the famed Glass Beach, where years of ocean-tumbled sea glass shimmer like jewels along the shore. The Skunk Train still winds through the redwood forests, a living link to the town’s lumber past, while galleries, breweries, and small cafés bring a laid-back charm to its downtown streets. With its mix of maritime heritage, natural beauty, and creative spirit, Fort Bragg feels both timeless and alive—a place where the ocean and the redwoods meet in quiet conversation.
