Humboldt County is truly one of those hidden gems along the Northern California Coast. Whether you are visiting the magnificent coastal redwoods to hike, play on one of many beaches, or simply soak up the quiet of this magic place, you and your pup are in for a treat.

The ancient groves of Redwood National and State Parks offer awe-inspiring trails, though dogs are limited to developed areas and beaches. Fortunately, miles of stunning dog-friendly shoreline await at Samoa Dunes, Clam Beach, and the wild stretches south of Trinidad. In Eureka and Arcata, you will find vibrant farmers markets, dog-welcoming brewpubs, and waterfront trails along Humboldt Bay. The Humboldt Redwoods State Park features the Avenue of the Giants and river bars where dogs can splash in the Eel River. With its rugged coastline, towering forests, and laid-back communities, Humboldt County is a top destination for dogs who love the outdoors.
