Shelter Cove Hotel & Travel Guide\n
Make sure you book early, as there are not many accommodation options close to downtown Shelter Cove.
The nearest Travelocity-listed accommodation option is the Best Western Plus Humboldt House Inn, North Coast California, 12 miles (19 kilometers) from the commercial district of Shelter Cove. But, you might stay at the Dean Creek Resort, located in North Coast California, which is 13 miles (20 kilometers) from the town center.
Two accommodations that could be ideal are the Benbow Historic Inn and the Oceanfront Inn at Shelter Cove. The Benbow Historic Inn is located 11 miles (18 kilometers) from the middle of Shelter Cove. The Oceanfront Inn at Shelter Cove is positioned 4 miles (6 kilometers) away. The Humboldt Redwoods Inn is another great option. You'll find it situated 12 miles (19 kilometers) outside of the center of Shelter Cove.
After you have got to know Shelter Cove, you could make the trip to investigate the greater region of the Northern California area. Northern California boasts mountains and valleys, and common tourist places of interest are art museums. Daring visitors can also enjoy snowboarding, skiing and cross-country skiing in the region.
55 miles (87 kilometers) to the north of Shelter Cove, you can reach Old Town Eureka, which is where you can explore Clarke Historical Museum and Carson Mansion. A few Travelocity-listed Old Town Eureka accommodations include the Carter House Inns and Best Western Plus Humboldt Bay Inn. Alternatively, you could consider staying at Eureka, 55 miles (87 kilometers) north of Shelter Cove, where you can choose between the Clarion Hotel By Humboldt Bay and Best Western Plus Bayshore Inn. When you stay in Eureka, you might like to visit the Bayshore Mall and Fort Humboldt State Historic Park.
Ensure a fix of local sport by taking a trip to Humboldt County Fairgrounds, situated 40 miles (66 kilometers) to the north of Shelter Cove. Book a hotel not far from the sporting action at the Gingerbread Mansion Inn or the Victorian Inn.

Black Sands Inn
"Pros: This is a beautiful place. Our room (#1) was lovely and spacious. Spectacular views. Comfy bed. Great big kitchen. Ocean front. Easy access to tide pools. Walking to two really good restaurants. Nice community hot tub. Cons: Communication was spotty. Received messages multiple times requesting my info (they use contactless check in), but didn’t receive final email with check in code and Rm number. Msgd them with no response. Called them and they were very helpful. Had to do the same thing for WiFi code (weak WiFi). Came upon an elderly couple who arrived with no idea how to check in and no cell service. We were able to talk them through it and give them the WiFi code that worked outside at a certain spot. On our last day we received a message welcoming us. Also, for such a large studio you would expect some storage. There were five hooks and a small hanging bar with no hangers. No place for luggage or a place to put your things. But as I said earlier, the room was lovely- new remodel. We enjoyed staying here once we figured it all out. Can’t beat the location."
