Patrick's Point State Park offers many activities for the active visitor including hiking, biking, beach combing, camping and lodging.

Tide Pools -- Tide Pools can be found at Palmer's Point and Agate Beach. A California sport fishing license will allow you to take certain species of game fish, crabs, abalone and clams. But in order to collect any other organism you must possess a scientific collecting permit.

Agate Beach -- This gently curving sand strip can be reached by a short, steep trail from the Agate Beach Campground. The constant movement of sand and water polishes semiprecious agates, for which the beach is named. Winter's driving winds and high tides also deposit driftwood of many shapes and sizes.

Trails -- By hiking the Rim Trail you may see a harbor seal, sea lion and if you are lucky a gray whale. Octopus Tree Trail loops through a grove of old-growth Sitka spruce. Two all-access trails to coast overlooks are also available.

Sumjg Village -- Take a journey into the past and visit a replica Yurok Indian village. The village is used by the local Yuroks for education of their youth and to share their culture with the public. Adjacent to Sumjg Village is a native plant garden where you will find native plants that were used for baskets, food and medicine

Camping -- The developed campground has 124 sites and can handle 31 foot mobile homes and trailers. There is also a hikers/bikers campground and a group site.

Cabins -- One cabin is available for rent at the campground. The cabin sleeps four and is heated by a wall heater. It has a small kitchen with a sink, microwave and small refrigerator. Showers are available in the campground. There is also a picnic table and fire pit next to the cabin.

Summers are generally mild. Fog is often encountered near the coastline, with sunny, warmer weather more common inland in the foothills. Winters are generally cool with considerable precipitation. Wear layers of clothing to accommodate cool to warm temperatures and good walking shoes. Rain protection should be included at any time of year.
