Vacation

Just imagine a stretch of unspoiled beach riddled with cobblestones lying peacefully on the ocean edge. Ancient dunes dot the landscape, where large drift logs lay for months undisturbed. By the seashore, seagulls drink, bath and sing to attract their mates. Out in the open beach, the sound of waves call to the weary wanderer. Such is the lure of Kellogg Beach, making it a top choice for a holiday vacation.

The best thing about a Kellogg Beach vacation is the variety of activities that vacationers can enjoy, mostly centered on the natural wonders of its surroundings. While the breeze and sea offer a refreshing dive for both professional and amateur swimmers, nature trekking is not to be skipped. Miles and miles of trail hikes offer a rich learning experience of the life and culture of the Tolowa tribe that were the pioneering inhabitants of the land. The recommended trail hikes include the Smith River Hike and the Yontocket Indian Village.

In between trail hikes are spacious picnic grounds complete with tables, benches and picnic amenities. For non-hikers who want a casual day just enjoying the sights, picnicking on the nearby grounds of the Smith River is a popular activity.

Of course, a vacation in Kellogg Beach is not complete without bird watching, especially on the coastal lakes where every now and then, a falcon or a ferret may poke you while canoing, Be ready with your binoculars and bird book guides to identify a myriad of other bird species around. The less adventurous can still have an enjoyable alternative by feeding the swans, seagulls and ducks in Smith River.

And while at the Kellogg Beach, kayaking and fishing could prove to be irresistible as well. Go salmon and trout fishing on those boats for rent by the locals and enjoy the sight as well as the bounty of the sea.
