Humboldt Lagoons State Park
Agate Beach along the Northern California Coast is accessed through Patrick's Point State Park. The beach is known for its geological gems that can be found in the sand and nearby cliffs. The access to the beach follows a winding trail descending 300 feet from the parking and the interesting aspect is that there are signs that inform that any rocks, gems, or driftwood that can be carried out is allowed. The catch is that one needs to haul the finds back up the hill. The beach has 2 miles to rock hound. Lynn and I spent much of the day here, found many beautiful stones and polished some back at home. #BeachTips
