Moonstone & Luffenholtz Beaches and Trinidad

The trinidad coastline

Route to Moonstone Beach from Eureka  Whenever we could break away, Ruth or I would head north to Moonstone or Luffenholtz beaches

North of Moonstone Beach is Trinidad with a wonderful sea food restaurant right on the dock

This is Luffenholtz Beach.  I used to climb out on these very rocks when I should have been in my college classrooms.
On the horizon is Trinidad head.  The town is just to the right of the huge rock.
In the spring, mother whales pause here on their northern migration to rest their calves.

This is the town of Trinidad.  Usually there are fishing boats anchored just to the left.
The fishemen row dinghies to and from shore down onto the little wharf.
