Trinidad is a city on California’s Pacific coast. Travelers can swim on the sandy beaches and admire the rugged coastline from rocky outposts. Lighthouses serve as beacons to sailors braving the open sea. You can charter a fishing boat or bring a fishing tackle to the 540-ft (165-m) pier to catch seaperch, walleye, and lingcod. This small city is tucked away at an elevation of 174 ft (53 m) above the northern part of a natural harbor: a tightly knit community amid pines and redwood forests. The city is a gateway to awe-inspiring islets and reefs within the protected areas of the California Coastal National Monument. It’s time to secure an exemplary vacation hideaway near the coast for your visit. Read about the best Vacasa rentals in Trinidad, California.
