There are tons of nostalgic places in Northern California, and we just love this quaint country general store that has everything you could possibly need. Located in the coastal community of Whitethorn, here’s more on why we love this little family owned establishment.
The Shelter Cove general store is located on a remote stretch of the Lost Coast, which earned that name because the rugged landscape makes it very hard to get to.

The Shelter Cove General Store was first established in 1984 by the Machi family, but the friendly atmosphere and small town way of life hearken back to an even earlier era.
