Description
California coastline with Lighthouse scene. The North Coast of California is a region which includes Mendocino, Humboldt, and Del Norte counties. It is called the Redwood Empire or the Redwood Coast. It can include the two counties from the San Francisco Bay area of Marin and Sonoma. The North Coast is located between the San Francisco Bay and the Oregon border.
The coast stretches from San Francisco Bay northwards to Humboldt Bay and on to the border of Oregon. The coastline is includes rocky cliffs and hills, streams and tide pools. Centerville Beach near Ferndale to the Klamath River is beach accessible. There are many small towns along Highway 101. They are very tourist friendly. Further inland is characterized by rugged, steep mountains, with rivers and narrow valleys and canyons. The trees are dense redwood, Douglas fir, and oak forests. The climate can range from fog in mild winters and summers baked by hot sunshine. At the higher elevations, it can be blanketed with snow in winter.
Notable seaside beaches can be found at Marin Headlands and Point Reyes National Seashore. There are many remote or less used beaches north of the San Francisco Bay Area. Redwoods can be found in many of the State and local parks. These parks are located along Highway 101 throughout the far North Coast. The redwoods can also be experienced from Muir Woods National Monument, Humboldt Redwoods State Park and the Avenue of the Giants.
The coast is also countryside full of cherished farms and vineyards. And a wonderful place where small towns preserve the past and embrace the future.
