Sunset at Sue-Meg (Patrick's Point) State Park in the Redwood Empire of Northern California

When I told my friends from Northern California that I was visiting Trinidad and the Redwoods, they all mentioned I had to hit up Patrick’s Point. Not knowing what that was I agreed and looked forward to it! When we got to our seaside cabin in Trinidad I asked the concierge lobby woman where was the best spot to see the ocean and the waves and the sunset and she said Sue-Meg State Park just down the road. So we went and… it was beyond incredible. The crashing waves, the golden sunset, the view of the beach and the tall seaside trees. It was perfect. But this Patrick’s Point place eluded me. Until later when I found out that California very recently changed the name Patrick’s Point to Sue-Meg. Whatever the amazing place is called, it’s worth a visit.
