Wow! Amazing Oceanview, walk to Beach & Game room!
"This is a great family property! Lots of board games, a ping pong table, and close to everything in Shelter Cove. It’s very close to Black Sands Beach, but the walk back is quite a steep uphill walk. The listed pictures of the ocean view don’t do it justice! We really enjoyed our stay here."

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.

When you stay in Eureka, you might like to visit the Bayshore Mall and Fort Humboldt State Historic Park.
