Northern California Romantic Getaways
For those who only think of California as everything south of the Bay area, you’re missing out! And especially for romantic vacations and honeymoons in Northern California.
The best time to visit and travel in Northern California: almost anytime! Late spring and autumn are our favorites. Fog and cooler temps are common along the North Coast. You’ll find more people and higher prices in the summer, but not really a huge difference in most places. Coastal Northern California Romantic Getaways
California Pacific Coast Highway 1 is a very rewarding seaside journey. 2 lanes full of the wild, crashing Pacific, secluded little windswept communities, magnificent sunsets, and one great view after another…
Carmel & The Big Sur
Our favorite little B&B is here, the Happy Landing Inn (where we spent our honeymoon AND 10th anniversary!) Just south a few miles, the Big Sur coastline is, of course, simply spectacular!
Sausalito & Marin County
Bodega BayThis tiny seaside village on the Sonoma Coast is known for its annual Fisherman’s Festival and nearby whale watching (best time: January to April). Try the clam chowder at the Boathouse Restaurant. And the Gourmet au Bay Seaside Wine Tasting Bar is the place for sipping California wine by the open sea.
Mendocino
A captivating place, especially in the spring and fall off-seasons. Summer’s get pretty busy, so if everything is full, check up the road in Fort Bragg for more accommodation. More Romantic Spots in Northern California
Eureka – The restored Old Town is full of history and architecture, and makes a fine afternoon stroll or walking tour. And further north along the Redwood Coast, awe inspiring trees (2000 yrs old, 300+ft!) and hiking trails abound in Redwood National Park.
Sacramento – the political heart of California, with its State Railroad museum and Spirit of Sacramento paddle wheeler tours on the Sacramento River.
Yosemite – Waterfalls, glaciers, rugged peaks, lakes and meadows all come together to form this postcard of a national park and World Heritage Site.
