About Arcata

Arcata offers access to the raw ocean coast via the Samoa Peninsula, including Samoa Beach and Manila Dunes, as well as the protected estuarine wetlands of the Arcata Marsh. The ocean side of the peninsula features continuous, powerful beach breaks popular among local cold-water surfers, though shifting sandbars demand vigilance. The vast dunes and broad beaches offer great space for walking and surf fishing, while the Arcata Marsh provides quiet coastal birdwatching rather than ocean tide pooling. Tracking the tides is important for timing surf sessions when sandbars align, avoiding heavy shorebreak at high tide along Samoa Beach, and navigating the marsh’s tidal mudflats.
