Little River State Beach, State beach in Humboldt County, United States.
Little River State Beach extends across 152 acres of sandy coastline, featuring wide dunes and an estuary where the Little River meets the Pacific Ocean.
The California Department of Parks and Recreation established this protected coastal area in 1931 to preserve the natural environments along the Pacific shore.
The beach serves as a destination for local residents who participate in traditional activities such as clam digging, beachcombing, and nature observation.
Visitors can access the beach through a trail from the free parking area on Clam Beach Drive, located between McKinleyville and Trinidad off Highway 101.
The sand dunes form a natural barrier between the ocean and inland areas, creating separate ecosystems that support different species of coastal wildlife.
