Oceanside Lodge Location
Your Coastal Escape on California’s North Coast
A Historic Coastal Haven
Nestled along California’s rugged North Coast, Trinidad is a seaside town steeped in history and natural beauty. Established in 1775 and recognized as the oldest incorporated town in California, Trinidad began as a port for mining and lumber before becoming a whaling station in the 1920s. Today, it is a peaceful blend of fishing village and coastal retreat, where forest meets ocean and time slow to the rhythm of the waves. Oceanside Lodge is located just outside the quaint town of Trinidad, California.
Getting Here
Trinidad is located just north of Arcata and Eureka, an easy drive along Highway 101. For guests arriving by air, the Arcata–Eureka Airport (ACV) is approximately 12 miles away, with several major rental car companies available on-site. From the airport, the drive north offers sweeping views of pastures, redwoods, and the Pacific coastline.

Our location is also convenient for visitors to Cal Poly Humboldt (formerly Humboldt State), just a 21-minute drive away in Arcata. Many guests choose to stay here during move-in weekend, Parents & Family Weekend, or graduation, when the area’s lodging fills quickly. If you’re searching for places to stay near Cal Poly Humboldt, Trinidad offers a quiet coastal alternative that’s close enough for easy access, yet far enough to unwind after campus events.
