We first took Scenic Drive to Tepona Point and stood for quite a long while just watching the waves crashing to shore. There were several people walking on the beach below and a few were fishing from the rocks in an area that looked far too dangerous for us to even attempt reaching (I confess: I am desperately afraid of heights in places that have nothing to hang onto). Alex wanted to see the boats in the harbor so we continued on Scenic Drive, turned left into Trinidad proper, down the hill past the lighthouse and the HSU Marine Lab. We parked amidst an adundant and varied collection of cars and SUVs, many with surfboards attached to their tops and walked out onto the pier. There were fishing boats dotting the harbor and while we were there, two boats were lifted from the water, attached to their waiting trucks, then driven off the wooden-planked dock which bounced and shook with the effort. It was such a lovely, sunny, windy day and local folks seemed to have the same idea we had----get out an enjoy it before the winter rains come again.
There is no point in explaining what others have already done so well. So, just click on the links below to learn more about this heavenly spot where the Redwoods meet the sea. The photos were taken from Tepona Point, which is on Scenic Drive between Moonstone and Luffenholtz Beaches.
