Connect with your inner adventurer and explore the rugged wilderness that still exists on the Mendocino Coast. Since there are no highways on or near the coast in the Sinkyone Wilderness State Park, the area has come to be called “the Lost Coast.”

We’ll literally take you off the beaten path to venture into one of the few coastal wilderness areas left in the United States. You’ll be able to explore spectacular coastal habitats, climb ridges, and experience captivating panoramic views.

Recommended Attire

We recommend that guests use appropriate footwear for their hikes such as hiking boots, tennis shoes, or other outdoor shoes. We also recommend wearing layers of clothing as the weather is unpredictable. Since there are various insects and poison oak in the area, we encourage you to take appropriate precautions in your clothing and use of insect repellent. Also, a small day pack is helpful and… don’t forget your camera

  Mendo Insiders provided shuttles for our wedding at Cuffey’s Cove in July. We had a great experience and would recommend them to other couples looking for a wedding shuttle option... read more in the Mendocino area. They were easy to work with and flexible in adding another shuttle a week before the wedding when we realized our guests would be arriving too early without it. They got all of our guests home safely (and our event went until 2am!).
