This charming North Coast town may look like a postcard-perfect New England fishing village, but it gets all freaky in winter. Blue skies one day, angry clouds the next. Storm watchers couldn’t be happier. They love the rip-roaring waves that hammer the Redwood Coast. Locals use words such as frightful, glorious and mighty to describe the surf. Check out the action in Mendocino Headlands State Park. Remember, Mendocino is in wine country. Drink up.
