Resorts

Over a thousand miles of beaches run along the California coasts. More than a hundred spots are declared as "beach cities" with a mix of seaside and cosmopolitan lifestyle. However, pristine, placid seaside living is also a favored lifestyle, and those who cannot live there permanently can always stay in various beach resorts.

Beach resorts vary from the quality of soil to the colors of the water. Kellogg Beach, for one, is pebbly with lots of cobblestones, which is characteristic of other California beaches in the North Coast. Depending on the location and weather, there are green waters, mint-like shades as well as deep blue ones. They offer a rustic, natural feel of the ocean and this natural ruggedness is their foremost appeal. While most of the beach miles can be enjoyed for free, there are a few who opt for the exclusivity, service and pampering that beach resorts offer.

The Hiouchi Hamlet R.V. Resort in Crescent City is a campground resort that is just a few minutes away from Kellogg Beach and opens up to other coastal spots nearby. Campers can enjoy overnight fishing, trail hiking and exploration of the nearby state parks.

The Hampton Inn & Suites Redwood Oceanfront Resort is located in a naturally rugged point in northern coastal California. It boasts of an all-oceanfront rooms combined with modern hotel amenities like upscale appliances, hi-speed Internet access, free local calls and free transfer services.

Located in the center of Redwood Park and adjacent to most of the beach stretches is the Best Western Northwoods Inn, a hotel-resort facility filled with famed gigantic Californian trees. Visitors can arrange for activities like whale watching, boating and cabana-style lounging by the beach.
