Pelican State Beach

Pelican State Beach is an undeveloped California state beach on the far northern coast, about 21 miles north of Crescent City near Smith River and just south of the Oregon line. It is the northernmost California state beach and the northern terminus of the California Coastal Trail. Though only about five acres, it is known for a wild, isolated character shaped by sandy shore, grassy dunes, driftwood, and broad ocean views. Popular for walking and beachcombing, it is often regarded as California’s loneliest beach. With parking but no facilities, it remains valued mainly for solitude, scenery, and a remote, exposed coastal setting.
