Store

Anchor Bay Market (signed locally as Anchor Bay Store-Village Market) is the everyday grocery stop for the stretch of the Mendocino coast just south of Gualala — a working neighborhood market, not a specialty boutique. Google's own summary calls it a "handy, well-stocked grocery known for sandwiches and donuts, plus local fish and meat," and the Wander Anchor Bay shopping guide lists it as the go-to grocery option for visitors staying nearby on CA-1. Reviewers single out the produce section, and the store holds a 4.7-star average across more than 100 reviews — high for a grocery of this size.

Before You Go

  • Open daily: Monday–Saturday 8am–7pm, Sunday 8am–6pm
  • Credit cards, debit cards, and contactless/NFC payment accepted — not a cash-only store
  • SNAP/EBT accepted, per the store's own listing
  • Wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking
  • It's a small-town grocery, not a supermarket — go in with modest expectations on selection
