Tides Turn - Where the Sea and the River meet.

Welcome to Tides Turn, a private, solar powered home with a scenic ocean view. This is one of the larger vacation rentals in the area with four bedrooms and spacious living areas to share with friends and family. Located overlooking the turn of the century hamlet of Albion and just minutes south of historic Mendocino.

There are lots of activities to choose from. Enjoy the birds floating on the updrafts. Observe the ever-changing sea through the only wooden trestle bridge left on the coast of California as the tides turn below. View the waves crashing in the cove. Count the whale spouts as they pass by during migration season. Soak in the spa or barbeque on the deck. Enjoy all that the Mendocino coast offers. Explore nearby Navarro Beach, just three miles south. Picnic in the Redwoods. Canoe or kayak the Albion River or our other local rivers. Go wine tasting in Anderson Valley. Take a round of golf at the Little River Inn. Try the trails at Van Damme State Park and Beach, three miles north, with the Pygmy Forest at the far end.

You can also treat yourself to our local restaurants such as the Ledford House or the Albion River Inn, some of the best dining on the coast. You can walk to the Albion market and deli, which is surprisingly well stocked. The Harvest Market in both Fort Bragg and Mendocino can deliver all you needs to Tides Turn.
