4 spots
College Cove is a sheltered cove within Trinidad State Beach, but its access trail is closed because of erosion. The spot is retained for map and closure awareness and must not be recommended or indexed while the closure remains in effect.
Houda Point and Camel Rock form a rocky, partially sheltered surf zone north of Moonstone. The land-trust access page identifies lower-tide swell as the established surf opportunity; the representative pin sits in the nearshore surf zone rather than at the bluff parking area.
Moonstone is a public, west-facing sand beach at the Little River mouth. It is one of Humboldt County's most established surf beaches, with shifting left and right peaks that range from approachable on small days to powerful in winter swell.
Trinidad State Beach is a public cove and beach/reef surf zone below Trinidad Head. West-southwest through northwest swell can reach the cove, while surrounding headlands create meaningful directional shelter.
