Trinidad, CA
A forested headland north of Trinidad, formerly Patrick’s Point, with a reconstructed Yurok village, agate beaches and cliff-top viewpoints. Day-use fee; the campgrounds are among the best on this coast.
Sue-meg State Park (formerly Patrick’s Point, renamed in 2021) covers about 260 hectares (640 acres) of coastal forest north of Trinidad. The state bought the land in 1929. The park holds Sumêg Village, a village built in 1990 by an all-Yurok crew, with redwood plank houses; the name means “forever” in Yurok. The Rim Trail is about 2 miles (3.2 km) long and links the viewpoints; several steep paths lead down to the water, including to Agate Beach, whose agates are polished by sand and water.
The water is too cold for swimming, and currents and sneaker waves are dangerous. Expect fog, especially in summer. Gray whales pass in spring and fall. The park has about 120 family campsites; reservations are required from May through September. Dogs are not allowed on beaches or unpaved trails.
