Duncans Mills
Halfway between Guerneville and the Pacific Ocean, this small town named for a sawmill that thrived here in the late 1800s is a popular pit stop for cyclists jonesing for coffee and aficionados of quirky retail. Antiques and gift shops can be found on the highway's north side, along with a general store, a petite bookstore, and a longtime local's casual wine-tasting venue. Guerneville and Jenner have better food options, though Cape Fear Café (north side) and the Gold Coast Bakery and Blue Heron Restaurant (south) have their adherents.
