Things to do in Crescent City, California (CA): The Best Beaches
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.

While we were eating lunch at North Coast Ocean Sports and Grill, we watched a promotional video of Crescent City that showed many highlights of the town and surrounding area. Point St. George Park was one of the areas showcased. We decided to go there to stretch our legs and stay for the sunset. We were not disappointed. We parked in the large lot off of N. Pebble Beach Drive and headed north toward the beach. The many rocks and miles of driftwood provided our boys (teen and pre-teen) ample fun prior to the sun fading into the Pacific Ocean. I'll never forget this spot, the overall experience or the sound of the waves coming in. It's a peaceful, relaxing and a beautiful place close to town. A great family to-do or romantic spot. There were probably 6 vehicles in the lot during our visit. Looking behind you (back toward the mountains and town and forests) was great as well and helped provide a good perspective of the surrounding area/landscapes. Finally, I've read that wind can be a deterrent, but we didn't experience on our visit.

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.
