6 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Crescent City That You Shouldn't Miss
Crescent City (Chetco-Tolowa: Taa-’at-dvn, Yurok: Kohpey, Wiyot: Daluwagh ) is the county seat of, and only incorporated city in, Del Norte County, California. Named for the crescent-shaped stretch of sandy beach south of the city, Crescent City had a total population of 7,643 in the 2010 census, up from 4,006 in the 2000 census. The population includes inmates at Pelican Bay State Prison, also within the city limits, and the former census-designated place Crescent City North annexed to the city. The city is also the site of the Redwood National Park headquarters, as well as the historic Battery Point Light. Due to the richness of the local Pacific Ocean waters and the related catch, and ease of access, Crescent City Harbor serves as home port for numerous commercial fishing vessels.
Restaurants in Crescent City
1. Ocean World
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 415 reviews
Ocean World – A Crescent City Jewel for Three Generations Since 1964, Ocean World, formerly Under Sea Gardens, was located in the Crescent City harbor small boat basin. It was a barge built specifically as an aquarium in Seattle and floated down to Crescent City. Visitors would descend below deck of the barge and view sea life through under-water observation windows. In 1985 the barge was moved to dry land and now consists of sea-life environments housed in tanks containing over half a million gallons of water and an abundance of sea life, including sharks, seals, sea lions, and rays. Visitors are able to enjoy a true hands-on experience with interactive tide pools, shark petting, as well as a high-flying sea lion presentation of behaviors; truly something for the whole family.

Had a great time vising here with two of our grandson. Staff here was friendly. Tour was awesome. Much more then we expected. Grandsons got to hold some starfish, touch a cool shark, see many other sea life along with a show of a sea lion doing some awesome tricks!

This is the cutest surf shop / boutique; a little something for everyone ???? The owners are the sweetest people and incredibly helpful. They aren't just trying to sell you anything, they want to make sure you are informed on which board, fins, anything, will work best for you which is so refreshing ???? The clothing is high quality and reliable brands, and let's not forget the Local Boys hoodies and other styles they have available, they are one of a kind graphics and always in high demand. You can't go anywhere in CC without seeing someone representing the LB???? It's just great to be able to get clothes at someplace that isn't the generic Wmart???? Definitely stop in and shop Local!! ????

I really enjoyed this place. It was small and friendly.It was so close and easy to get to we went 3 times. Only stayed for a couple hours each time. Found some progressive slots we had fun with. My husband gets bored quick in casinos so i was pleasantly surprised he went 3x. The pay outs were frequent and generous. Ended up a few hundred ahead.
