Samoa, CA

Samoa sits on a narrow peninsula just across the bay from Eureka, tucked between windswept ocean dunes and Humboldt Bay. Originally founded as a timber company town, the tiny community still features historic lumber-era cottages alongside the famous Samoa Cookhouse. For newcomers, it offers quiet coastal living with miles of open beach in your backyard and quick bridge access to everyday conveniences in Eureka and Arcata.
