Del Norte County, California

Crescent City

Named for its crescent-shaped shoreline, Crescent City combines easy coastal access with nearby redwood country. Residents have beaches, Battery Point Lighthouse, Pebble Beach, the jetty, scenic overlooks, and Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park close at hand, making it easy to enjoy the outdoors without going far. The mix of sandy beach, rocky shoreline, and nearby forest gives the area a lot of variety for everyday walks, weekend exploring, and time outside.
