Elk

The Village of Elk, previously known as Greenwood, is a charming stop along the Northern California Coast 16 miles south of the town of Mendocino. In this little town you’ll encounter stunning views of the shoreline and Pacific Ocean in a mesmerizing meeting of land, sea and sky, punctuated by waves breaking against picturesque rock formations known as “sea stacks.”

Manchester

Manchester is a beautiful, tiny village with a population of about 200. Situated in an area of rich grazing land about 13 miles south of Elk. Nearby Manchester Beach State Park offers a beach, sand dunes, flat grasslands and more than three miles of shoreline.
