About Clam Beach County Park

Clam Beach County Park
 

Clam Beach County Park, located in Humboldt County, California, offers a quintessential coastal experience with its expansive sandy beach stretching along the Pacific Ocean. The park provides a perfect setting for beachcombing, picnicking, and flying kites. With its gentle waves, it's also a haven for beginner surfers and those looking to enjoy a refreshing swim. Ecologically, the park supports a variety of bird species, making it a suitable spot for birdwatching. The area is historically significant due to its use by Indigenous peoples and later as part of the stagecoach route in the 19th century. Today, Clam Beach is part of the California Coastal Trail, allowing visitors to explore the natural beauty of Northern California's coastline. Its proximity to Trinidad Head makes it an appealing destination for those looking to combine beach activities with nearby hiking opportunities.
