Trinidad, a quaint seaside city, sits atop a rocky bluff overlooking a protected bay on the Pacific Ocean. Visitors come from all over to see the unique rugged coastline blanketed with spruce and redwood forests and walk beaches with no other footprints.
Fishing is popular and boats can be launched in Trinidad Harbor from the beach or by a lift and trolley car launch operated by the Yurok Tribe. Harbor moorings are available for extended stays.
Surfing, kayaking, and whale watching are popular outdoor activities along with tide pooling, abalone diving and birding.
This quiet town comes alive each February for the Trinidad to Clam Beach Run where over 1200 runners stomp through town on their way to the famous Little River crossing and the finish line on Clam Beach. The actual date depends on the time of the high tide. The run started as a winter training event for Humboldt State track and grew into a nationally recognized race.
Humboldt State University operates a marine laboratory in Trinidad that is open to the public. The Fred Telonicher Marine Laboratory is used by students to study rockfish, Dungeness crab and abalone (among other things) and visitors can see the projects subjects in saltwater tanks.
In June the City holds the annual Fish Festival where vendor and artisan booths line Main Street. Live music and a fresh rockfish and salmon feed highlight the event. For those looking to escape the heat and find a relaxing retreat consider a visit to Trinidad where the sea breeze and view will cool the temperature and calm the mind.
Welcome to Trinidad!
