An old-world community with the ‘60s utopianism, Sea Ranch is a popular holiday destination in the stunning Sonoma County of California. Stretching 10 miles (16 km) along the Pacific Coast, the sparsely populated town is not only celebrated for its supreme beauty but also for the ecological architectural practices inspired by the native tribe of Pomo Indians, where the theme of 'living lightly on land’ is still amazingly relevant. Renowned for its spectacular ocean views and beautiful high bluffs, crashing waves and migrating whales, the tranquillity offered by Sea Ranch is more of an acquired taste!
While you are in the environmentally conscious community, a visit to Sea Ranch Chapel–an architectural wonder–cannot be missed for anything! Explore the six rugged trails like Black Point, Gualala Point Regional Park etc. that lead to panoramic views of the Pacific and go tide pooling, have a picnic on the shore, or watch the sea birds gliding! Condominium One, Benjamino Bufano’s ‘Peace Obelisk’, and Fort Ross State Historic Park are other points of interest in the unique community. Read on further to know about the top Vrbo vacation rentals in Sea Ranch, California you can book to access its pristine beauty.
