Cape Mendocino (Spanish: Cabo Mendocino, meaning "Cape of Mendoza"),[1] which is located approximately 200 miles (320 km) north of San Francisco, is located on the Lost Coast entirely within Humboldt County, California, United States. At 124° 24' 34" W longitude, it is the westernmost point on the coast of California.[2] The South Cape Mendocino State Marine Reserve and Sugarloaf Island are immediately offshore, although closed to public access due to their protected status.[3][4] Sugarloaf Island is cited as California's westernmost island.[5]
