Arcata

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.

Arcata is a little slice of Oregon in Northern California. The town itself is really small, but since it’s a college town, you can still catch live music and find some good eats. Redwood Park is an amazing place to wander around, and I have some great memories from going to Clam Beach a tad bit north of town. Definitely good for a weekend visit. Beautiful.

this is my hometown. for anyone who hasnt been here its pretty cool. the lost coast is a beautiful place to visit, not to live….unless ur loaded and can leave all the time.

-go to the beach. i love moonstone and clam beach.

-go to redwood park and take a walk in the woods. good trails. insane tree’s.

-shop some local stores, its fun.
-visit the arcata plaza….itll speak for itself.

-eat at arcata pizza and deli.

-eat as los bagles. get a slug, cream chese, toasted, with larupin sauce. trust me. fat kid knows good food.

-visit the marsh, its pretty cool if you like wild life.

-if youre into it, smoke some humboldt grown. youll never have a high like it again if you do.

-eat at V&N burger bar. good shit. i used to work there…..id know.

-walk arcata in general, its a neat little place.

god theres so many things i could go on and on and on. just go to arcata and hang out for a while. play frisbe golf, or smoke a j…..eat some food, go to the beach….stand in a tree.

OMG…I lived in Humboldt County for about 2 years and I absolutely LOVE Arcata/Eureka! My favorite thing about this place is all the AMAZING resaurants and hippie-owned stores…some of my favie restaurants are Arcata Pizza and Deli, Wildberries Co-op, Tomo Sushi, Bon Boniere Ice Cream (maple nut!!!!), Organically Delicious and Kyoto Sushi. The Eureka Co-op also has THE BEST sandwiches!
Arcata also has it’s own rules pretty much…there are always festivals and everybody is really friendly. It’s like its own little world….one of the most unique places you could ever go.

I had a great time while I was here, The redwoods are unbelievable. There’s so much to explore outside, but I don’t think I would want to live there. People are nice, but everyone’s a little too mellow for me to handle. I was almost embarrassed to tell people I didn’s smoke pot because that’s like, the thing to do there, man.
