Trinidad California

Our first trip to Trinidad was in the summer of 1997. I wrote in our scrapbook that we had found paradise. It was love at first sight. We stayed at Midway RV park. The RV park was nice and clean but really not our cup of tea. More like a cement campground with RV's stacked nicely next to each other. We were new to the area and didn't know that just up the road was Patrick's Point State Park. After we discovered Patrick's Point we have always made that our base camp to explore the wonderful little town that is Trinidad. Moonstone Beach was and is my favorite beach to explore. On one extremely foggy day we were walking along the beach and barely able to see a few feet in front of us. Slowly the fog moved away and we saw the most incredible sight we have ever seen. Hundreds of sand dollars covering the sand. We don't see sand dollars in So. California. It was amazing!

This is one of the trails to the beach. We had no idea what to expect at the end of it. Beautiful foliage engulfs the trails. When the trail ends you are met with the ocean and endless beaches. We spent the day building sandcastles and running in and out of the water. A short walk down the sand and we discovered a beach where clothing was apparently optional.
Another new experience for us.
