The Premier Bed and Breakfast on the Northern California Coast
“… the best view in Trinidad and the builders have made the most of it.” –Fodor’s Northern California
Turtle Rocks Oceanfront Inn, a three-acre bed and breakfast in Trinidad, California, on California’s Redwood Coast. The inn is the closest oceanfront hotel to Arcata and Eureka, less than a half-hour drive to the north, but a magnificent land apart where forested mountains meet a dramatic coastline of rocky coves, huge headlands and offshore rocks. Off Route 101, this laid-back 3-acre retreat is 1.1 miles from Sue-Meg State Park, 5.4 miles from Big Lagoon and 14 miles from Redwood National Park in Humboldt County (just north of Mendocino County), the southern gateway for vacation travel to the Pacific Northwest.
“I honestly cannot imagine a better bed and breakfast experience in Northern California than this one. The photos do not do it justice. We splurged on the large room with a balcony overlooking the sea but every room has spectacular views. You can hear the sea lions arfing below and it is magical. The married hosts are friendly and talkative but never imposing, filled with great advice about the large menu of local sights. The accommodations feel like staying with a relative in the best way. Actual blankets and towels you would find in someone’s home, not in a generic hotel! Truly a perfect experience” ~ Mark King, Google Review, April 2024

“Perfect location for a trip to the Redwoods! Quaint, rustic stay with amazing ocean views and comfortable rooms. You can even hear the waves and sea lions below! Friendly staff who are very accommodating and provide great tips for your trip.” ~ Laura Gillum, Google Review
“Too wonderful for words! Lovely gem overlooking the Pacific. Comfortable rooms with excellent beds and bedding. Loved sitting on the deck watching the crashing waves and listening to the sea lions. Roger and Francine are excellent hosts, serving up a delicious breakfast each morning along with a stellar cup of coffee. Their 1-2 and 3 day itinerary was invaluable in helping us get the most enjoyment out of our stay. The redwoods are close at hand and make for an incredible journey.” ~ Alan C, Manchester, NH
