California Photos Trinidad State Beach, North Coast Previous Photo : Photo Index : Next Photo The North Coast of California is a place for private encounters with the Pacific. A string of state beaches and county parks protect just about every cove and headland. The coarse grained volcanic sands of the area make for a frothy surf that fizzes as it washes back into the waves. This sunset shot is taken from the beach at Trinidad, one of the tiny towns along Highway 101. If you would like to use a photo, please write and ask. I almost always agree. Mail Form Here!
