A Place Rich in History

The Old Abalone Pub and Hotel in Westport, California, is a family-run treasure steeped in the town’s rich coastal heritage. Built in the late 1800s during Westport’s logging boom, it served as a bustling gathering place for lumbermen, fishermen, and travelers navigating the rugged Mendocino coast. Named for the plentiful abalone in nearby waters, it became a symbol of the area’s seafaring and hard-working spirit.


Still lovingly operated by a local family, the pub retains its historic charm with weathered floors, a welcoming bar, and a cozy atmosphere. It remains a cherished landmark, offering visitors a glimpse into Westport’s vibrant past and timeless hospitality.

Where Time Stands Still

Westport, California, is a secluded coastal village perched on the dramatic cliffs of Mendocino County, embodying the quiet charm of a bygone era. Founded in 1879 by Samuel West, the town emerged during the height of the timber industry, becoming a pivotal hub for harvesting and shipping redwood lumber. Its small port saw ships navigating treacherous waters to transport timber to bustling markets, fueling growth along the Northern California coast.


In its heyday, Westport thrived with sawmills, bustling storefronts, and a vibrant community tied to the rhythms of the forest and sea. However, as the demand for timber waned and modern transportation routes bypassed the town, Westport settled into a peaceful decline.

Today, its weathered buildings, picturesque beaches, and breathtaking coastal views serve as a testament to its enduring spirit. Visitors to Westport are drawn not only by its stunning natural beauty but also by the echoes of a rich past that still linger in every corner of this timeless retreat.
