Trinidad is a seaside town in Humboldt County,
located on the Pacific Ocean 8 miles north of the Arcata-Eureka Airport
and 15 miles north of the college town of Arcata.

Situated directly above its own natural harbor,
Trinidad is one of California's smallest incorporated cities,
(with a 2020 population of 348)
and is noted for its spectacular coastline
with ten public beaches and offshore rocks.

These rocks are part of the California Coastal National Monument
of which Trinidad is a Gateway City.
This natural landmark is joined by three additional marine landmarks
- the historic Trinidad Head Light, the Trinidad Memorial Lighthouse,
and Humboldt State University's Fred Telonicher Marine Laboratory.

Fishing operations related to Trinidad Harbor
are vital to both local tourism and commercial fishery interests in the region.
In addition to its coastal assets, the city honors and works
to protect its Native American cultural and historic heritage.
