Review:
College Cove Beach (Humboldt County) is located in a cove north of Trinidad State Beach in the quaint town of Trinidad. The beach is quite large and splits into two sections when the tide comes in. It is recommended that visitors only travel between the two sections during low tide.
Although the water can be quite chilly, this is a sought after swimming destination and year-round surf spot. Marine life is often present at the beach, mainly sea lions and seals. On rare occasions, visitors will spot whales making their way between Baja California and Alaska. Starfish, sea urchins, clams, and mussels can also be found in the small tide pools.
