Trinidad Head
A granite headland beside a small fishing harbor. The 2.3-kilometer loop offers views of sea stacks and the bay, with a lighthouse and a state beach at its base.
Trinidad Head lies in the town of Trinidad, about 25 kilometers north of Arcata. The loop trail around the headland is about 2.3 kilometers and offers views of a coastline dotted with sea stacks, the fishing harbor, and the redwood coast in the distance. The town's memorial lighthouse is a landmark of the coast. On the north side, Trinidad State Beach (College Cove) has sand and rocky reefs that are good for walking and exploring tide pools. Seafood restaurants near the harbor serve local crab and fish.
