Trinidad is a seaside town in Humboldt County, located on the Pacific Ocean. It is an ideal location to view the off shore rocks that are part of the California Coastal National Monument (CCNM). The CCNM was created by presidential proclamation in 2000 and is currently managed by the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The CCNM includes more than 20,000 rocks, pinnacles, and islands along the 1,100 miles of California’s coast from San Diego to the Oregon Border. Trinidad Head itself is not part of the CCNM, but it is closely linked to the offshore rocks and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Trinidad, California, is one of several coastal cities and towns designated as a CCNM Gateway Community. The BLM Arcata Field Office works with local partners to protect and preserve the diversity of life on the Trinidad coastline and offshore rocks through example, education, and community cooperation.
Trinidad Gateway partners include the California Department of Fish & Game, California State Parks, City of Trinidad, Coastwalk California, Humboldt State University Marine Laboratory, Redwood Region Audubon Society, Trinidad Coastal Land Trust, Trinidad Museum Society, Trinidad Rancheria, Tsurai Ancestral Society and the Yurok Tribe.
