Gold Bluffs Beach

[HERR42]

took a trip up to Gold Bluffs Beach campground up above Eureka last week.
This is one of the few on-the-beach campgrounds in Cal....at least that I know of.
I lack a telephoto lens...but if you look real close in that third shot the is a herd of elk munching away on the vegetation!
They are BIG! and they did not give a hoot about our presence.

...and a shot of Home Creek that flows out of Fern Canyon.

Beautiful spot. Thanks for posting. Bear boxes on the beach?? You won't see those in SoCal.

SunMan.....ugh you must be mistaken.
Dear Wife points out that is a Sasquatch Box.

Gold Bluffs Beach Campground

Herr,

Reviving your trip report to get some information. We would like to try this campground next month. Would be arriving on a Friday evening. This campground does not take reservations. Do you recall if the campground filled up? Also, I read Davison Road to the campground can be dicey in weather. What were your observations of the road.

Thanks,

Ted

Pescador,

How would you rate Golds bluff beach and Matolle beach in there with your fav spots up there??

Do you know Kevin on the "Beverly's Big Top" out of Ft Bragg?
He's a 32 foot Radon that does Urchin and Crab. Buddy of ours, he comes down to dive with us every now and then in the winter
