Fort Bragg, CA

Fort Bragg is a Mendocino County city on California's North Coast, long tied to Pomo history, logging, fishing, and the ocean. Glass Beach is its best-known visitor landmark, but the town's character is broader than that: working harbor, coastal fog, old lumber-era buildings, and a rugged distance from the Bay Area. Fort Bragg feels like a real North Coast town rather than a polished resort, with beauty, weather, and economic history all visible at street level.
