Trinidad - College Cove
Stagecoach RoadTrinidad, California 95570
Northern Humboldt
College Cove is the northern most beach within the Trinidad State Beach area. This secluded beach is beautiful and tucked away in a nice cove that shields it from a lot of the wind. From College Cove, you can see Pewetole Island which sometimes displays an impressive blow-hole that can only be seen from this beach.
The various tidepools to be found, the plentiful rock formations just off the coast and its easy access make this a great beach to visit.
There are also some some really chill walking trails above the beach on the bluffs. You'll see them as you're walking toward the beach access trail.
