Discover the Redwood Coast

Between five and six hours north of San Francisco, the California's Redwood Coast is treasured for its natural beauty, ancient redwoods, unspoiled coastline and abundant wildlife.

Let our Travel Ambassadors at the California Welcome Center in Arcata help you plan your stay on the Redwood Coast. Throughout the county, travelers will find comfortable accommodations, fine restaurants and numerous campgrounds. Additionally, our helpful staff can assist you with information on recreational opportunities, attractions, shopping and more. Centrally located in Humboldt County, the California Welcome Center is located on Coastal Highway 101, at the juncture of Highway 299. Access to Arcata and the North Coast from Southern California is now easier than ever, as Arcata Airport recently implemented two direct daily round trip flights to Los Angeles International Airport.

Catch a Show at the Arkley Center for Performing Arts in Eureka

One of the few surviving vaudeville and silent movie houses in California, the Loews returned to service in February following a hiatus of more than 30 years. Thanks to a multimillion-dollar historic renovation, the show goes on in this Spanish Colonial Revival landmark, built in 1920. Musical acts, live theater, and cinematic works are announced on the new marquee, built from photos of the original. Now known as the Arkley Center for the Performing Arts , it still houses the class of the past in downtown Eureka.
