Humboldt Lagoons State Park is located near Trinidad, California. It encompasses several lagoons along the Pacific coastline, including Big Lagoon, Stone Lagoon, and Freshwater Lagoon. These lagoons are surrounded by diverse ecosystems, including marshes, sand dunes, and forests, providing a habitat for various plant and animal species.
Sue-meg State Park's dense forests of spruce, hemlock, pine, fir and red alder stretch over an ocean headland with lovely wildflower-festooned meadows and a dramatic shoreline ranging from broad sandy beaches to sheer cliffs that rise high above the Pacific Ocean offer great opportunities to explore tide pools, search for agates and driftwood, watch whales and sea lions and brilliant sunset.
