Crescent City, California

Nestled in the rugged wilderness of northern California, about 20 miles (32 kilometers) south of the California-Oregon border and 80 miles (129 kilometers) north of Eureka, lies the quiet seaside town of Crescent City.

Built in a natural harbor on the edge of Redwood National & State Parks, Crescent City was originally established as a distribution point for inland mines. Following the decline of the mining industry, forestry and tourism have become major components of the local economy. Today, people visit from around the world to view some of northern California's most scenic landscape.

Located near the southern end of America's Wild Rivers Coast, Crescent City is certain to please those who long to challenge themselves outdoors. From kayaking the Klamath to hiking along the banks of the Smith River, numerous adventures await. There's also cycling, fishing, swimming, wildlife watching, and beachcombing to experience. And, with relatively moderate temperatures throughout the year, you'll have plenty of opportunity to get outside.

Servicing a local community of 4,006, Crescent City offers numerous schools, two museums, a library, and movie theatres.

Crescent City … come for the coast; stay for the community.
