Jug Handle State Park - Pygmy Forest- Trail Destination
A rare coastal pygmy forest of stunted cypress and pine on boardwalked trails above the Mendocino coast—perfect for intimate abstract tree forms, textured bark, and coastal vistas where wind-sculpted trunks meet ocean fog. Best at golden hour or under marine layer for mood; arrive early on weekdays to avoid limited parking. Short, easy loop on raised boardwalks (protective habitat) — carry layers for cool, windy conditions. State park rules protect the fragile ecosystem; stay on the boardwalk.
