Point St. George Heritage Area
About
Point St. George Heritage Area is a public ocean beach on the California coast, about 3 miles from Crescent City. It sits within the Humboldt-Del Norte Unit, and there is no fee to visit. Summer and early fall are the most settled times to come. At the nearby Crescent City airport weather station, typical July afternoons reach about 63°F with lows near 52°F, and only around four days that month see rain on average. From late fall through early spring, rain falls on roughly 14 to 18 days a month. Several trails start close by. Dead Lake Trail and Sweetwater Creek Trail are both just over a mile away. Cadre Point Trail is about 2 miles off, and Lake Earl Coastal Lagoon Trail is a little more than 5 miles away for a longer outing.
