The city

Living in Gualala, CA

Gualala is a tiny coastal town on California's Mendocino Coast, where the Gualala River meets the Pacific Ocean. Nurses who relocate here trade city conveniences for redwood forests, dramatic ocean bluffs, and a tight-knit community of fewer than 2,000 residents. It appeals to those seeking rural serenity, outdoor recreation, and a slow-paced coastal lifestyle away from urban pressure.
