Sightseeing

Cruises begin April 16th. Board at the foot of C Street in Old Town Eureka and enjoy a narrated boat tour of Humboldt Bay for a bit of wildlife, history, bird watching and gorgeous coastal views. This motor vessel used to transport timber workers across the bay, but now houses the smallest licensed bar in the State of California. Non-narrated cocktail cruises also available in the later part of the week. Call or visit the website for tickets. Highly recommended! Bring a jacket in case of a coastal breeze.

Parks & Nature

Walk through the dunes to the beach. Great place to let your dog off-leash to run along the surf. Horse trails as well as hiking paths through the dunes, so horse encounters possible. Grab some deli food from Wildberries or the Arcata Co-op for a picnic on the beach.

"The one-square-mile park is densely packed with potential adventures. On a short walk around the perimeter of the park, you can hunt for agates, explore tidepools, and walk through a jungle of shrubs and trees as you peer out at seals, sea lions, and migrating whales. In the park’s interior, you’ll find a visitor center, a native plant garden, and a reconstructed Yurok plank-house village. You can picnic or wake up to birdsong at one of three campgrounds. In summer, you can witness a traditional ceremony at Sumeg Village or take a hike led by a docent or professional naturalist. "
