8:32 Although it belongs to a closely related species, the General Sherman Tree is not a coastal redwood and is nowhere near Eureka. It is hundreds of miles southeast of Eureka in Sequoia National Park in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, not Sequoia Park Forest and Garden.

I live near Sacramento and I have a remote job, so I move anywhere. I really dislike the heat and sun. We get too much. I love that Eureka has lots more rain and cloudy weather.

[@bellydancer3146]

I live and was born in Eureka Ca. We are not "murder mountain". we have art, beautiful trees, and 18 beaches within a 60 mile radius. We are no more violent than any other town or city. Feel free to visit and see for yourself.

[@blazinjedi2008]

I lived there for about 5 years from 2007-2012 and is honestly love it there. I didnt reize how much I loved it till I moved back to the east coast. Now.ill just wanna go back just for a visit. Inwotked the banquets department at the Red Lion from 2008-2011 so you may have seen me there.

We live in the far East Bay Area and Eureka is always a part of out RV experience...We leave home, travel up I-5 to Portland to visit daughter...From there we head to the Oregon Coast and Tillamook/Garibaldi to visit son....From that point we head all the way down Hwy 101 along the coast to the Oregon/Calif border and on into Crescent City to visit father in law....From Crescent city we take short ride into Eureka and almost always spend a nite or two in the area dry camping in the RV at Blue Lakes Casino or just down the road in Loletta at Bear River Casino....We often visit Lost Coast Brewery to eat and pick up some Great White beer (My favorite) while there...The Nooner cafe is ok, but not one of our favorites ....Two places to eat not mentioned here are the old SAMOA COOKHOUSE which is an old all you can eat logging camp thats been there over 100yrs..It all you can eat but only for what they are serving that day....If your into seafood, highly recommend the SEA GRILL as we have never had a meal we didnt love there....

Yes!!!! Sequoia park is seriously so magical. Unlike anything I’ve ever been to. I lived in eureka years ago (now live in SoCal) when I was a child and have always felt a connection to it. I revisited just last year and it’s even more gorgeous than I remembered. There’s something incredibly special about that park and is worth the trip alone. I tell all of my friends to check it out.

[@mehulbhatt747]

Love this area. Used to live in Bay Area and visited a few times. Now, we have moved to India, but last year visited a close friend’s at his cabin in the woods near Eureka with my son - and it was nostalgic! Beautiful place, nature & ppl.

[@OnViewCation]

Fun stuff, thanks for sharing! How is India so far?

[@lindsayhengehold5341]

Love Eureka, almost moved here but decided to move to the East Coast instead. The city is very beautiful and especially the downtown.

After living in Eureka and the surrounding area for 30 years, I would put Old Town as #1 since many of the places listed in this video are in that area. That being said, if you go to Lost Coast Brewery, don't forget to try their famous Halibut & Fries = the best ever! They get their Halibut FRESH and it is delicious!

[@OnViewCation]

Thank you so much for sharing this--highly appreciated. Which city/location would you like us to cover next?

Awesome video! Displayed alot of fun activities in Humboldt. Being a local realtor to Humboldt County I would say check out Humboldt Bay, Samoa Beaches, Trinidad(college cove), loleta (table bluff). I ❤️ the beaches here. For dinner - Mazottis in Arcata, Salt in Arcata, Sea Grill in Eureka, 511 in Eureka, DD steak in Fortuna. Ask me about Humboldt County Activities! Happy to direct😊

If you want to score speed or heroin, Old Town is a great place to visit. Be sure to stop by St. Vincent De'Paul's Free Dining Facility and grab some lunch whilst making new friends.

[@chiefschillaxn1781]

theres a statistical 200% chance to be a victim of crime in eureka had to leave after getting car windows smashed twice and tires stolen. the only thing that was stolen inside the car because I was expecting them to break in was a handful of sea shells. my car has been vandalized many times by homeless, its been keyed, smashed with metal pipes and baseball bats and its body damage is extensive now my car looks like it has hail damage but its all homeless people. I lived in old town the farther you get away from old town the better I would recommend seeing headwaters forest its beautiful.

[@gandorfstar5038]

Enjoy the outdoors! Great sand dunes and beautiful forests, eccentric people, music and art.Forget these snobby eateries full of aging hipsters! But jobs are hard to come by. Lotsa old folks rummaging about and probably people escaping LA/ SF bringing their way of life with them, trying to lord over the locals with big money and cars.

[@rickt.223]

Did he say “Long Coast”?

[@ramiadaro8269]

Wich is the max. temperature at Summer?

[@gandorfstar5038]

I'd say id depends on if its a drought year or not. Most normal/ non-drought yrs it only gets into the mid 60s all summer and is usually overcast. Not great beach weather. But in dry yrs it can get into the low 80s but its great due to low humidity. Its not like the South or even East. (Btw, Inland temps dont really matter or affect the coast, so it can be roasting in Redding and cool in Humboldt.)

Not in eureka if you want your car broken into by heroin attics and hobos come to eureka if you want to sit in a fog belt and pay too much to eat come to eureka. You would like to learn how to speak Spanish come to eureka or the sound shrouding areas. In our little cities there is absolutely nothing to do but eat food and get drunk.
