Old Home Beach on Trinidad Bay

(Above)  This quiet, wave-sheltered beach is just right for a tranquil stroll at low tide.

(Left)  With its gentle surf, fine sand, and many interesting things to explore, it is a safe and enjoyable place for small children to wade and play.

Most of the beach is submerged at high tide, so be sure to check the tide forecast.

Starfish are exposed at low tide.

See birds and seals on rocks in the bay.

Tsurai villagers launched their canoes into the ocean from here.  Each rock and place has a special name and meaning.  Although it is labelled "Indian Beach" on official USGS maps, Tsurai descendants and most locals call it "Old Home Beach".
