7 Sights & Landmarks 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.

We walked to the Battery Point Lighthouse during low tide and had a wonderful little tour of the lighthouse ALL the way up to the top and enjoyed the view from the light area that holds six-eight people. Very well maintained lighthouse with knowledgeable guides to provide interesting history information, as well. You can walk and visit the grounds on your own during low tide, but spend the few dollars to go inside for the tour - the funds collected goes towards the preservation of the lighthouse by the local historical group.

As this unpaved road winds through the redwood forest, you will be amazed by the size and height of the trees. However, the middle four miles of the road is closed for restoration by the park service until December 31, 2020. It is off-limits to visitors. To visit Stout Grove, you need to enter Howland Hill Road from the north side. Howland Hill Road is open to the Stout Grove trailhead parking lot.

We were on a road trip and found our own drift wood walking stick. On the beach. Which made a great souvenir, and we used them everyday on our week long road trip seeing nature spots. Here the rock formations, make many tide pools too. To see creatures. If you are towing, and it is not busy, roadside parking is big enough. From here, driving south, is a very pretty drive too. Along the coastal houses.

We could see over a hundred sea lions swimming in groups near the pier. It was a really cool experience. Not always, but we got a good chance to visit it when we went there. It was the greatest luck of my life. It is definitely a place you want to go again.
