Turn in here... I see a beach!…read more On our way to a 4-day road trip at the Oregon Coast we made our first stop at Moonstone Beach. We estimated we'd reach our lodging destination at a certain time but we like to leave room for side trips we stumble upon along the way (like this one). Moonstone Beach is not too far from Clam Beach. We've been to this part of the state before when we went on a tour of the Battery Point Lighthouse in Crescent City. The parking area is not a long walk from the beach -whew- and it was low tide at the time so it was nice. We walked all the way to the north end of the beach to the cave. Few people in November, some walked the beach, many brought their dogs to play and run around. There was some rock climbing going on too. Beautiful beach in Humboldt County! The tide was starting to come in as we were leaving... Moonstone Grill, a restaurant just up the hill you'll see before heading down to the beach, opened at 4:30p daily for dinner. We arrived at the beach at 1:00p so we weren't able to try. Review #3241

Trails were not hard at all, some cool art pieces, and a huge gift shop at the end. We got to ride the gondola and it was a bit scary when it stopped halfway through, but that was just to load the next riders. It's a breath taking view once you get past the clouds. I didn't finish the rope bridges, but I did about 3 of them and felt totally safe the whole time. It was a nice place to be in for a few hours, and it was about an hour drive away from Humboldt. I would reserve about 3-5 hours of your day to see it all. Would love to come back with friends or family!

Spectacular view for a girl from LA…read more I planned a roadtrip to visit all the gloomy coastal cities up north and this park beach truly delivered. It is nothing like the beaches in SoCal which is everything that I wanted to experience. I enjoyed how cool the weather was and the smells of the clean, crisp air. It was just under $10 to visit for the day and we spent about an hour solely taking in the views. Overall, highly recommend if you are in this neck of the woods.

Great place to spend the day on the beach, rock hunting, camping, or exploring trails!…read more Hands down one of my favorite places in northern California to spend a day on the beach. If you're looking for a dip in the ocean this is not the spot for you, as the waves are pretty big and can be dangerous. As for rock collecting are some beautiful jaspers, agates, jade, and others. There's also a lot of cool driftwood, although you're not supposed to collect it. This visit was the first time I explored some of the trails, which were super cool and worth it. Wedding rock is a must see! I'd love to stay in one of the small cabins or dry camp here one day, but for a small fee of I believe $8 you can spend the day here. I highly recommend it!

This is a massive, super cool rock formation on Trinidad Beach…read more "Grandmother Rock" is situated on the north end of Trinidad Beach and a very easy walk from the parking lot. Legend has it that the Tsu-rai Indians once used this beach as part of their summer camp. One day, a young warrior launched his canoe into the cold waters of the beach (Northern California beaches do not have warm water even in summertime!). He never returned and his grandmother waited so patiently for him on the beach that eventually, the gods took pity on her and turned her into a rock. You really can see her - sitting, huddled up, looking out to sea, and even her hair - in a bun on the back of her head. The "bun" even has some succulent plants growing out of it. You really don't have to use much of your imagination to see this striking image. Definitely worth a trip for some cool, northern California local flavor.

Roadside parking at both the south and north trail heads - you have about a 5-10 minute leisurely stroll through the dunes out to the beach and ocean. This north humboldt bay beach has some serious waves and some of the roughest water around. Great for viewing and walking, riding horses, etc. but it does not look like a great place to swim or surf. Very aggressive waters here. You can access this beach from either traveling to the north end of Clam beach drive or taking the 725 exit off the highway - the beach is located immediately to the west as you exit - just circle back towards to ocean (west) and parking is right there on the corner - this is the entrance to the north trail head. A half a mile or so down the road is the south trail head entrance and road side parking. There are literally miles upon miles of trails - some marked others not, an amazing view of the north Humboldt bay, Camel rock and Trinidad are all had from this vantage point. A nice state beach, very often overlooked and driven right past. Worth the effort to pull off and explore - I often find I am the only one out there.
