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.
