In-Depth Information
numbers 21 to 59. Ten superb, secluded walk-in tent sites (numbers 1 to 10) are first-come,
first-served.
Westport
If sleepy Westport feels like the peaceful edge of nowhere, that's because it is. The last
hamlet before the Lost Coast, on a twisting 15-mile drive north of Fort Bragg, it is the last
town before Hwy 1 veers inland on the 22-mile ascent to meet Hwy 101 in Leggett.
Head 1.5 miles north of town for the ruggedly beautiful Westport-Union Landing
State Beach ( 707-937-5804; tent sites $25) , which extends for 3 miles on coastal bluffs.
A rough hiking trail leaves the primitive campground and passes by tidepools and
streams, accessible at low tide. Bring your own water.
Sleeping & Eating
Westport Inn INN
( 707-964-5135; www.westportinnca.com ; 37040 N Hwy 1; r incl breakfast from $70; )
Simple accommodations in town include the blue-and-red, plastic-flower-festooned West-
port Inn.
Westport Hotel & Old Abalone Pub INN
( 877-964-3688; www.westporthotel.us ; Hwy 1; r $150-225; )
Westport Hotel & Old Abalone Pub is quiet enough to have a motto which brags 'You've
finally found nowhere.' The rooms are bright and beautiful - feather duvets, hardwood
furniture, simple patterns - and enjoy excellent views. The classy historic pub downstairs
is the only option for dinner, so be thankful it's a delicious sampling of whimsical Califor-
nia fusions (like turduken sausage and buttermilk potatoes and rock shrimp mac and
cheese) and hearty, expertly presented pub food.
