“spectacular views in every direction”
Luffenholtz 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. No fees.
The map takes you to Trinidad. It's actually 2 miles south. Mostly a surf beach and moonstones are scarce. Busy in nice weather says a local. Luna got her run on so a nice stop for the dog.
Moonstone Beach County Park is at the north side of the Little River mouth near Trinidad. The beach is popular with surfers and also with families that can play safely in the slow river current. It’s a picturesque beach with rocks and larger sea stacks poking up out of the surf. The large two-humped rock island known as Camel Rock is visible to the north. At the north end of Moonstone Beach are some hidden caves to explore at lower tides. South of the river mouth is Little River State Beach which requires wading through the river to be able to wander away from the crowds. In the summer months it is warm enough to swim in Little River. To get here, start in Trinidad and turn off Main Street onto Scenic Drive. Follow this scenic windy road until you see a sign for Moonstone Grill. The beach is right below the restaurant.
The place is nice, has a nice atmosphere and also their staff are pleasant and helpful. There are a lot of food choices, service is fast and also the location is convenient, however, the sad thing about the place is that they only open in the night time.
