Trinidad State Beach is an outdoor activity in Trinidad, CA, part of the The Redwood Coast guide. Cost: free.
Trinity St · Trinidad, CA
Trinidad State Beach sits just below the small, tightly clustered village of Trinidad, with sea stacks, a memorial lighthouse and a working pier overlooking the cove. A short trail connects the beach to town, making it easy to pair tide-pooling with lunch at a harborside seafood spot. Trinidad Head, a short hike above the beach, offers wide ocean views.
