Halfway between San Francisco and the Oregon border is Fort Bragg, a stunning destination nestled right on the coast of the Pacific Ocean. Just as the name suggests, Fort Bragg is a large military installation. Since it was established in 1918, Fort Bragg has served an integral role in the nation's history. Today, visitors to Fort Bragg can admire the abundant wildlife along the coast, head to the beach, explore spectacular museums, and dive into the rich history of the region. Hotels in Fort Bragg for AARP members can keep costs low without forcing you to sacrifice any of the best parts of your upcoming vacation.
If you're a history enthusiast, then start off your Fort Bragg vacation by visiting some of the local historical landmarks and museums. A few of the top picks include the Guest House Museum, the Sea Glass Museum, the Mendocino Coast Model Railroad & Historical Society, and a steam engine on the California Western Railroad that still runs with passengers once each week. Fort Bragg is surrounded by exceptional natural beauty, so you'll definitely want to head outdoors and see the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens, stroll along the MacKerricher State Park, feel the breeze at Pomo Bluffs Park, or take photographs on the iconic Glass Beach, which is covered in a rainbow of smoothed, multicolored glass. Round it out with some coastal horseback riding or an evening of tastings at a Northern California winery. Here at the AARP Travel Center Powered by Expedia, our Fort Bragg hotel deals for seniors are the cherry on top of the traveler's ice cream sundae. Affordable prices on accommodation translate to more souvenirs, bigger savings, and perhaps an extra night of coastal views and ocean breezes.
