A solitary figure is standing on a grassy hillside, silhouetted against the backdrop of a breathtaking sunset over the vast Pacific Ocean. The person is wearing a dark jacket and hat, holding a hiking pole, admiring the scenic coastal view. Several large rocky outcroppings dot the shoreline, jutting out from the gentle waves lapping at the beach. The warm, golden hues of the fading sunlight paint the sky and water in a serene, picturesque scene.

Favorite Northern California Beaches

What coasts are your favorite coasts to beach hop along? - Save this post for you next beach trip and share it with your beach buddy! - Below are my favorite beaches we found in Northern California! Disclaimer: these beaches don’t have swimmable shores so they are purely there for ocean viewing and also whale watching depending on the time of year you go! 1. Gold Bluffs Beach - this beach is the one you can hop to after checking our Fern Canyon! (See my last post for reference!) 2. Thomas H. Kuchel Visitor Center - this is the nearest landmark point with a name for this particular beach. If you park here and walk out to the water there are large rocks close enough to the shore that you can see every drop of water crashing off of them! 3. Big Lagoon - there are LOADS of lagoons off the coast around here but obviously this one is the largest. There are kayak tours, fishing, and camping around these areas along with beautiful coastline! 😍 4. Patrick’s Point State Park - this isn’t really a beach, but more of a cliff lookout and worthy of noting in my opinion. It’s where this photo was taken so as you can see it’s beautiful! 5. Trinidad State Beach - there is so much beach here to walk along with a trail up to a cliff side with a lighthouse. (Note: the lighthouse is only accessible the first Saturday of every month) - Also, practice LNT when you visit any of these locations or really on any outdoor adventure!
