Few coastal locales are as photographed as the town of Mendocino and its bold headlands. The town itself, which lies just north of the mouth of Big River, resembles a New England village, no doubt by design of its Yankee founders. Mendocino may be familiar to fans of the once-popular television series "Murder She Wrote"; it served as the fictional Cabot Cove, sleuth Jessica Fletcher's hometown. Now protected by a state park, the headlands are laced with paths that offer postcard views of wave tunnels and tidepools, beaches and blowholes.
Location/Directions<br />The park surrounds the town of Mendocino, California, just off Highway One.
