Visit Arcata
Arcata is a community nestled in the redwoods on the North Coast of California brimming with coastal views, amazing food and culture. Our beautiful forests, one-of-a-kind marsh, and small-town atmosphere are what so many come to visit us for, but our community spirit, unique culture, and unbeatable experiences are what keep them coming back. Discover the magic for yourself and #VisitArcata.
