Luffenholtz Beach

Luffenholtz Beach

While DogTrekker regularly updates off-leash rules, it is important to check to be sure that this area still allows voice control prior to removing your dog’s leash.

Luffenholtz Beach County Park offers a sweeping overlook of the Pacific Ocean, picnic area and trail down to the beach. This is a spectacular rocky cove with tidepools and wildlife. Be aware of the tide and avoid becoming stranded.

Please keep your dogs under control at all times. The trail down to the beach is narrow so it’s best to keep your dogs on leash until you get to the sand.

Bring fresh water with you. No parking fees.

Get there by taking Exit 726A off Hwy 101 south of Trinidad/north of Arcata. Go west to Scenic Drive and head north.

A vibrant dog park bathed in sunlight features abundant greenery with mature trees, offering ample shade for leisurely outdoor activities. In the distance is a well-equipped playground that presents an additional activity area. An inviting picnic table spreads out nearby, ideal for enjoying meals al fresco or taking relaxing breaks from play. A neatly-placed trash bin aids in maintaining the park's cleanliness for everyone's enjoyment. Dominating the scene is a generously wide dirt path gracefully curving through the expanse of grass, promising exploratory walks and lively fetch games.
