I recommend visiting a 'visitor's center' for the Redwood National Park to get an overview of the collection of land parcels that make up the Redwood National and State Parks so that you can appreciate what's left of the giant redwoods. Even along US Highway 101, there are easy on/off to enjoy glimpse of some great groves. Remember there is only 4% of the original forest left - hence the collection of small parcels, but still incredible.

My husband and I are big coffee drinker's and over the years have become very particular about what we drink. Of all the coffee we've tried, Humboldt Bay Coffee has remained our favorite! We prefer dark roasts and theirs are the only ones that don't have burnt or bitter flavor. Their coffee is rich, smooth and aromatic- simply the best! They have an awesome roasting facility and storefront located in Old Town Eureka. It's definitely worth a visit if you're in the area! This place has a cool vibe, great hospitality and beautiful products that are adorned in original artwork! It's a family business, and if you become a regular customer, you become part of the family! The staff is very knowledgeable in what they do, and you are sure to leave understanding more about coffee than when you arrived! Cool Place!

The tours were sold out but we went to check it out anyway because we’d heard good things. There are lots of chocolates to sample including the super rich drinking chocolate. We also enjoyed a very thorough explanation of how chocolate is made. I bought a gift to send to a friend in VA (free shipping for purchases of $25 or more). And of course we bought some to eat later. Our visit was about 45 minutes and then walked into Old Town Eureka.

A museum specializing in Humboldt County history with numerous Native American artifacts.
Reviewed By Humboldt101
This building was absolutely beautiful and filled with amazing items to browse and learn more about Humboldt County, the rich Native American history of the area, and was staffed by friendly and helpful employees. The location was right in the middle of downtown which made it great for walkability and to be near many of the local attractions and restaurants.

A great outdoor choice with opportunities for beach walking, wildlife viewing and great scenery. The overlook where the Mad River empties into the Bay is wonderful

Easily accessible to walk, hike, drive, or picnic. Just a few hundred feet into Sequoia Park, you'll feel like you're deep within a spectacular primeval forest. Close nearby is a park, zoo, and other attractions.

The SpeakEasy bar in Old Town Eureka is a fantastic New Orleans inspired blues bar. Come for the live local music four nights a week, stay for the craft cocktails and ambiance! We have a full menu with delicious classic and original drinks as well as rotating seasonal menus that highlight local and often organic ingredients. Located in historic Old Town, this special spot is not to be missed!

There’s a two mile round trip paved trail. There are other trails through the woods too. There was an old logging camp there around 1900 that left and over time the forest took over and there are only a couple things remaining from the camp; foundation of a house and a large barn.
