Get away from it all at the Shelter Cove Inn
Come in for a landing at Shelter Cove's 3,300 foot airstrip.
Lying at an elevation of 138 feet above sea level, where the King Range meets the Pacific Ocean, Shelter Cove is on California's Lost Coast.
Explore Black Sands Beach, the Cape Mendocino Lighthouse and the tide pools. Walk the Cove Beach all the way to Dead Man's Creek. Scan the sea for otters, sea lions and migrating humpback whales, orca, grays, and blues. Walk "the loop" around the airfield or golf course. Fish for snapper, salmon, halibut, crab, abalone, mussels, and rock cod. Or grab some binoculars and a bird book and look for osprey, kestrels, pelicans, purple martins, killdeer, etc. In summer, enjoy the cooler temperatures; in winter, the splendid storms. Deer, the occasional elk, gray foxes and otters roam around freely.
