BANANA BELT

"Water coming down place" or "Where the water meets the sea" was named by the original Pomo Indian inhabitants to describe the mouth of the Gualala River which forms the border between Sonoma andMendocino counties. Sited just 120 miles north of San Francisco, Gualala serves as the commercial center for the communities between Annapolis and Elk. An area of unsurpassed beauty where redwoods meet the sea, it enjoys a uniquely mild micro-climate called the "Banana Belt." *(gwah-la-la)
