The Premier Bed and Breakfast on the Northern California Coast

“… the best view in Trinidad and the builders have made the most of it.” –Fodor’s Northern California 

Turtle Rocks Oceanfront Inn, a three-acre bed and breakfast in Trinidad, California, on California’s Redwood Coast. The inn is the closest oceanfront hotel to Arcata and Eureka, less than a half-hour drive to the north, but a magnificent land apart where forested mountains meet a dramatic coastline of rocky coves, huge headlands and offshore rocks. Off Route 101, this laid-back 3-acre retreat is 1.1 miles from Sue-Meg State Park, 5.4 miles from Big Lagoon and 14 miles from Redwood National Park in Humboldt County (just north of Mendocino County), the southern gateway for vacation travel to the Pacific Northwest.

Spectacular Ocean View From Every Room

Relax and enjoy this stunning view of the ocean and offshore rocks from the privacy of your own room.  The ocean view from our rooms is unsurpassed anywhere in Northern California.

Stellar Reviews

“Best place to stay on the northern coast of California: Turtle Rocks Inn gets all of the important stuff right: the ocean views from every room in the Inn are spectacular, the rooms are comfortable, and the hosts are present but unobtrusive. The king beds are incredibly comfortable, and you will love falling asleep to the sounds of barking sea lions, which lounge on the rocks a short distance from shore. The morning coffee is strong and high quality, the breakfast offerings are superb–cooked by the owner–and the up-to-date LG tv and wifi make it easy to while away your time with a partner after dark, when you aren’t doing other things! Turtle Rocks is a short distance from Trinidad proper, and a slightly longer drive to some of the best hiking on the coast. Skip the pricey restaurants in the area; they aren’t as good as they claim to be. Instead, dine at local haunts and focus on hiking. St. Patrick’s Point State Park is right there, and hiking among redwoods is just a few miles north. If you can handle moderately challenging hike as well as a somewhat treacherous drive, Fern Canyon is a must see. Really, I can’t say enough about this place. It’s expensive but completely worth it.” ~ Kathleen M, TripAdvisor, January 2024

“Lovely Inn Overlooking the Pacific. We stayed for two nights and enjoyed the ocean views from our deck and the sounds of sea lions barking below. Our room was spacious and well appointed. Breakfast was delicious. The inn is conveniently located for those visiting Sue-Meg State Park or Redwood National and State Parks.” ~ Rick, TripAdvisor Review, June 2023

“Perfect location for a trip to the Redwoods! Quaint, rustic stay with amazing ocean views and comfortable rooms. You can even hear the waves and sea lions below! Friendly staff who are very accommodating and provide great tips for your trip.” ~ Laura Gillum, Google Review

“Too wonderful for words! Lovely gem overlooking the Pacific. Comfortable rooms with excellent beds and bedding. Loved sitting on the deck watching the crashing waves and listening to the sea lions. Roger and Francine are excellent hosts, serving up a delicious breakfast each morning along with a stellar cup of coffee. Their 1-2 and 3 day itinerary was invaluable in helping us get the most enjoyment out of our stay. The redwoods are close at hand and make for an incredible journey.” ~ Alan C, Manchester, NH
