Young and broke, my husband and I went on our honeymoon here rather than somewhere “exotic.” It was the best week of my life! We went kayaking, surfing, drank beer and played pool, and explored the shoreline a bit.

I love Arcata in ways my feeble tongue cannot explain.

You will never find a town with friendlier people, more passion, or more beauty.

I moved up there after living in SoCal for a large chunk of my life. I had to learn to make my own fun, but in time, that became easy. It’s hard not to want to play with starfish at Trinidad or go for a short hike through the Arcata forest.

My husband and I hope to retire here someday. It’ll be wonderful.
