Humboldt Bay

Humboldt Bay is a natural harbor located on the northern coast of California. It is a sheltered bay filled with interconnected waterways, making it ideal for shipping, fishing, and recreation. The bay covers around 16,000 acres and features mudflats, wetlands, and tidal marshes that support diverse wildlife, including seabirds and marine life. Historically, it has been vital for the region’s economy and transportation. Humboldt Bay is also home to the city of Eureka, and efforts are ongoing to protect its ecological health while maintaining its importance as a port and natural resource.
