Welcome to

Redwood Coast

Towering redwoods and rugged shorelines make up the phenomenal coastal region extending along a narrow strip of land from southern Oregon to about 150 miles north of San Francisco, CA. Notably, the greatest redwood concentration is in Humboldt County, home to McKinleyville, Eureka, and Arcata.

Tucked between the Redwood National and State Parks to the north and Humboldt Redwoods State Park to the south, this is the heart of California’s redwood coast, not to mention home to the world’s tallest tree! In late 2006, the 380-foot tall towering redwood giant, named Hyperion, was discovered in an undisclosed location within the Redwoods National and State Park. Invitation to all adventurers, do you think you can find it?

Moreover, this area is known as home to the largest expanse of redwoods in the world. Humboldt Redwoods State Park spans over 53,000 acres, including the 10,000 acre Rockefeller Forest. The rich coniferous canopy soaring above attracts visitors from across the globe to marvel at the awe-inspiring drive through the Avenue of the Giants.

Along with the world-renowned majestic redwoods, the Humboldt County seat of Eureka was home to the California gold rush in the late 1800s. It also lends its name to California’s state motto. Victorian architecture looking out over Humboldt Bay enhances Eureka’s charm while nearby Arcata and Trinidad offer one-of-a-kind shops and restaurants, numerous public beaches, and miles of hiking trails.

Cultural charm, a wealth of outdoor activities, stunning landscapes, and of course the embrace of the region’s towering trees make this corner of northern California a bucket-list destination.
