Fort Bragg, CA is a small coastal town founded in 1857. It spent it’s heyday as a fishing and seafaring community and supported a vast logging industry. The railroad played a large part in its development. The trains stopped servicing the area and fishing and tourism became the local economy. We didn’t see any boats go out but there were signs that sport fishing is offered perhaps when the weather is a bit warmer and much less windy.
We took several walks both into town, to the waterfront on the Noyo River and out along the coastal bluffs. The northern CA coast is breath taking!!!
Our campsite at a nearby RV Campground (note not resort!) was up a bit of a rise. We could see the ocean from our window, with enough clarity to see the whitecaps! We could almost see the sun set but did see it most of the way down. It was very quiet except for the sea buoys nearby. A groaner mark a bit offshore and a horn at the end of the breakwater at the entrance to the Noyo River. Nice noises.
