All About Trinidad
On California’s wild Lost Coast 90 minutes from the Oregon border, the small seaside village of Trinidad boasts big trees, untamed beaches, and jaw-dropping views of the Pacific Ocean. In fact, Trinidad is designated as a California Coastal National Monument Gateway — a title given to sections of the coast that are important as both a tourist destination and wildlife habitat. Just off the coast, Green Rock and Flatiron Rock provide a home to a dozen species of seabirds — the most diverse seabird population in California.
To experience the natural beauty of the town up close, you can hike or bike the Trinidad Head Trail Loop, which winds along the coast through stands of towering redwood and spruce trees. A walk on the Trinidad Pier, which juts out into the protected waters of the Trinidad Harbor, offers the chance to experience the rocky coastline from a different perspective. The pier is also a great place to try your hand at fishing or crabbing, as you listen to the waters hitting the shore.
How do I get around Trinidad?
The California Redwood Coast-Humboldt County Airport (ACV) is around 15 minutes south of Trinidad in the town of McKinleyville. From the airport, you can hop on a bus or rent a car to complete your trip. The much bigger San Francisco International Airport (SFO) is 5.5 hours away. Once you have arrived in Trinidad, you can utilize the public bus transportation system to get around town or to visit other towns nearby. Taxis and ride-hailing services are also widely available throughout Trinidad. You can also take advantage of the numerous trails and bike paths here by renting a bicycle as an alternate method of transportation during your stay.
When is the best time to stay in a vacation rental in Trinidad?
May through early November is generally considered the best time to stay in a vacation rental in Trinidad. Not only are the temperatures warm and the seas calm during this time, but the skies tend to be clear once the morning fog rises. This is also considered the region’s dry season, although you may still have to account for the occasional rain shower. During this time, you can also find numerous events and festivals held around town, like the Trinidad Fish Festival, where you will find fresh fish dishes, live music, and a kid’s zone on the third Sunday in June. If you make the trip during the rainy season — November through April — you will likely witness a winter storm and cold weather, so come prepared with warm waterproof boots and a coat.

Sue-Meg State Park
