The Lost Coast Ranch
If you drove around the twisty roads west of Highway 101, you will see the Lost Coast Ranch outstanding out of the forest. The access to this destination is not easy, but the grand Victorian architecture and gorgeous ocean backdrop are definitely worth the drive.
This place is like those Lost Coast secrets that exist only in dreams and whispers, but those who know it well get to enjoy every little bit of it.
The Victorian Village of Ferndale
There are many sights that got lost in time because of the lack of development, and Ferndale is the town that took all that to the next level. Once you visit it, you will be in ‘awe’ due to the endless farmland, impenetrable forest, and the Eel River. Add to that the Victorian buildings that didn’t change since the early 20th century.
This place is considered as the gateway to the Lost Coast, which is the perfect stopping point during your adventure. Nothing compares to a quick break to enjoy some ice cream while exploring the quaint town.
Shelter Cove’s Black Sands Beach
Believe it or not, but California coast is not all surf stops and golden sands. The Lost Coast provides with a perfect, unique gorgeous black sand beach that is able to strike your soul.
That beach can be found in Shelter Cove, which is a small seaside village with many secrets to unveil. Also, it can be the best location to clear your head from stress and people’s problems because it doesn’t have so many crowds since it is too far from the main traffic flow.
Confusion Hill
The Confusion Hill is not lost, and not on the coast, but it is undoubtedly the greatest treasure of the entire region. You will be welcomed with hand-drawn signs and many attractions that would cause you to think twice about gravity, again.
