Coastal Trails & Tide Pools
Explore headland trails to dramatic overlooks, sea stacks, and excellent tide pooling at low tide. The Rim Trail offers stunning Pacific views, while Agate Beach is perfect for hunting for semi-precious stones.
Sumêg Village
This recreated Yurok village within the park offers an authentic glimpse into the culture of the region’s indigenous people, with traditional plank houses and a sweat house.
What happened to Patrick’s Point State Park?
In 2021, the park was officially renamed Sue Meg State Park to honor the Yurok ancestral name for the area. The park is often still searchable under its former name.
How far in advance should I book camping?
For summer weekends (May-September), book as soon as reservations open–6 months in advance. Sites sell out quickly. Off-season visitors may find walk-up availability.
