Things to Do in Trinidad

For outdoorsy people that love to go on adventure, hiking the Trinidad Head is a must-do activity. The hike is a challenge but offers spectacular views of the surrounding coast -- there's even the opportunity to spot gray whales. For more beautiful views of the North Coast, head to the Trinidad Memorial Lighthouse.

Alternatively, spend some time relaxing on one of the beaches in Trinidad, such as Trinidad State Beach. This is a prime spot for surfing, while Moonstone Beach is also popular for a calm day out. Indian Beach, which is also known as 'Old Home Beach' offers the best views of Trinidad Head. Elsewhere, Humboldt Lagoons State Park is a place for fishing, exploring the dunes and forests, and swimming at the lagoons.

Best Time to Visit Trinidad

Summer months are popular in Trinidad but spring is also a beautiful time to visit, with the bloom of wildflowers. In addition, fall is a time to admire the changing colors of nature.
