Crescent City

Crescent City straddles the Pacific coast and California’s redwood country, a setting that has shaped it as a maritime community beside some of the world’s tallest forests. The city’s harbor faces the open ocean, while Redwood National and State Parks lie close by, protecting monumental coast redwoods and stretches of rugged northern shoreline. Battery Point Lighthouse, first lit in 1856, stands on a small offshore islet reached on foot at low tide. Crescent City was severely damaged by the 1964 tsunami generated by the Alaska earthquake, an event remembered in the city’s history.
