Patricks Point Park

Patrick’s Point State Park

Trinidad, California

A beautiful forest and meadow, the park is full of natural attractions and trails.
Large rock formations offer a dramatic view of the Pacific Ocean.
Wedding Rock
This is one of the most famous ones.
Many weddings are preformed here, many others have wedding pictures taken at this spot. A beautiful background of the ocean frames the bride and groom.
Others come to the rock formations to watch the migration of the gray whale.
Whale watching near the beach are resident whales who stay here year around. The water is not deep enough for them to jump or spy hop. You can spot them by watching for the water blow or spout.
Agate Beach
This is where semiprecious stones can be found on the sand.
We had never been agate hunting before and were not sure what they looked like. We were told they would be shinny and white or clear looking.
So off we went with my rock bag in hand.
It is quite a climb down to the beach but once there it is worth the climb.
All sea rocks looked like agates to me when they were wet and shinning in the sun.
Just taking the ones that I thought might be an agate, I filled my bag.
Out of my bag of treasures I have one small agate.
I brought them home and put them in a clear glass vase. Every time we look at our agate gems, we smile. That is what memories are made of.
We stayed at the Sounds of the Sea RV Park, every morning we were awakened with the seals barking.
It truly was the sounds of the sea.
