Patrick’s Point State Park is the perfect location to watch whales, sea lions, and beautiful sunsets. Appropriately located in the heart of the California redwood coast and considered one of the most magical treasures of the rugged Northern Coast. Take long and memorable strolls over safe, well-marked paths, bridges, steps and stairs winding in and around the crashing blue Pacific. Plus, get up close and personal in an ancient Sumeg village. A good camera is required on Rim Trail, Wedding Rock, Ceremonial Rock, and a never-ending display of why California is famous the world over.

Trinidad
Oh for the love of Trinidad! Entire romance novels are yet to be written about this tiny dot on the world map of love. Too poetic? Then you’ve never been here and now is the time. Your story is about to unfold.
Situated on the rugged Coast of Northern California, just a short 20 mile drive north of Eureka, this postage-stamp, picture-perfect town is perched on the cliffs above crashing waves. The gateway to the California Coastal National Monument, Trinidad promises tide pool exploration at Trinidad State Beach, leisurely hiking on Trinidad Head, and some crazy-good dining right on the Trinidad pier.
Shop for one-of-a-kind gifts, picnic supplies, or taste some wine if the mood strikes. Also, be sure the check out the Memorial Lighthouse and the Humboldt State Marine Lab. If you head home without visiting Trinidad… well, that will be one sad story to tell.
