Other things around are the Fisherman's Memorial Statue, a restaurant, bathrooms, and kayaking. It's not a working lighthouse and you can't go in so if you are looking for that it would be disappointing, but this lighthouse more serves as a photo-op if already in Woodley Island.

I am always on the lookout for lighthouses. On a trip we did to Eureka, California we discovered…read morethere was a lighthouse out on Woodley Island Marina. It was originally located south of Humboldt Bay but was relocated to Woodley Island Marina. This light was particularly useful as the coastline in this area was notoriously dangerous and rough. This lighthouse was the first one to become automated which was in 1953. Where the lighthouse it is close in proximity to the Lost Fisherman's Memorial statue where many fisherman lost their lives or went missing in this area. The tower to this light is short and stubby compared to some but has it's own unique signature as well. It looks a bit different than some of the ones that are located farther north in Oregon where you can pick up a lot of similarities in their architecture. The lighthouse is nicely restored now and looks sleek and clean so I suspect that it is more for tourism but it's a nice stop in addition to the memorial as you are out and about in Eureka.

The bar in the basement is vets and guests only other than during shows -- look for the running lights to be on over the sunken door on the northern side of the building. My understanding is that flippers moved in nearby just before the crash, and have been lodging surprisingly effective noise complaints about the regular shows. Don't know how that'll affect things like Bummerfest et al. Time will tell, but I've spent many a happy nocturnal hour there.

City of Eureka as a visitor [Eureka CA]…read more We saw and did a lot more in the City of Eureka this time around when we revisited during the extended Memorial Day weekend 2025. Each below have their own a separate review. New to us: * Sequoia Park & Garden - the garden featured a wishing well and a gazebo. Lots of flowers in bloom which is generally between May and September. * Sequoia Park Zoo and The Redwood Sky Walk - The Sky Walk is accessible only through the Sequoia Park Zoo. Enjoyed both attractions! The suspension bridge was my highlight but I also really liked seeing the flamingos! * Fort Humboldt State Historic Park - cool history where future U.S. President, Ulysses S. Grant, served as a Captain and commander of all Union forces during the Civil War. This place is said to be haunted. * T.J. Maxx - just passing time before movies. As we were about to leave town to head back home we stopped by downtown on Memorial Day. Many businesses were open including: * Old Town Square - historic charm and for the most part I didn't see too many homeless people on the streets as many have mentioned in their reviews. We came around 10:00a. * Dick Taylor Craft Chocolate - located right on the waterfront of Humboldt Bay. Sampled some artisanal chocolates and enjoyed a Browned Butter Rice Krispy Treat from their cafe bar. * Los Bagels - tried their Scrambagel for the first time. Very good in organic sesame seed bagel. This is a cafe with Mexican and Jewish influence. Revisited: * The Donut Mill - Ham & Cheese Croissant for breakfast * Broadway Cinema - "The Last Rodeo" [an Angel Studios production] * Brick and Fire Bistro - featured in DD&D twice... first one in and we got to sit inside the main dining room this time. Had the Kobe Fettina Steak again. We've pretty much explored all we wanted to see in the City of Eureka so won't be back in a long while. We'll probably revisit again in a few years.

I have issues in many places over the years,in eureka most people are fairly pleasant and…read morehelpful,oddly enough the police are actually pretty cool(weird to say that from me) many interesting things to do ,the marinas are cool,tons of affordable dispensaries,many interesting places to eat, everything is affordable,it's colorful,not to loud in most areas. Problematic situations aren't your problem if you don't apply yourself to them ,housing is reasonable for California It does not have some of the general issues as often is other spots in the area such as power outages or poor connectivity It's kind of small but there is always a lot going on if you're into roaming and budgeting, actually fairly quiet at night There are a few negatives, quite a bit of homelessness and addicts but that's everywhere now. I've been homeless so it doesn't bother me aside empathy Thank you eureka police for being respectful and empathetic to people and not robbing shooting and beating people on a regular basis people here complain about the police far too much. I blame that on addicts and hippies and some old anti police attitude mess. I used to sell drugs in other states. These people complaining must have been doing something wrong as the cops here have a lot to deal with Also amazing weather almost all the time ,I don't mind the winter rains it's better than snowy subartict And the design and structural ambience is nice Best place in Humboldt in my experience so far and a favored spot in Cali Thank you for not discriminating eureka Thank you code enforcement for doing your jobs Thank you city workers and PGE and especially all federal benefit offices such as EBT,Medicaid,social security, section 8,also AAA, Avoid pro pacific,they aren't pros they will take your money and not do full repair ,hold your vehicle for as long as they can illegally lie about not being able to find parts or fix certain things and only fix what they want ,very disrespectful,may leave your vehicle off property open to vandalism in the streets,like job security Absolutely most horrible scum mechanics I've come across in forty years, probably on drugs or something I don't know anything about the lodge there hopefully the brothers are more well behaved ,mature and dedicated to what the organization is really about as opposed to other places I've been Eureka is a prime northern coast area. Please don't mess it up or start being pricks like everywhere else I really appreciate you

We had just had brunch at the Cafe Brio and decided they would try doing their drawing in the Arcata Library. The librarians there were the most rude individuals we have encountered in our travels.

Want to read a book but the library doesn't carry it?…read more Sign up for Zip Books!! I was told by the kind librarian, across from the library public computers, if the book is less than $30 and more than 2 (?) years old it can be ordered to your physical or post office address. Just don't make the same mistake as I did! I did not return it with the packaging and papers it came with. I was then sent an email by the main front desk telling me I was overdue. When contacted about this issue in person they mentioned it was a first time exception. Phew! I don't want to make that mistake again! Good luck hunting for rare gems.

The children's area has opened ended play and nature inspired stations friendly for young children. We love the new playground however I wish there was a way to close the gate because it is open to the street and people drive fast through that curved corner. In addition, there are sometimes men sitting at the table but they don't have any children with them. Sometimes this makes me feel uncomfortable as a mom with young kiddos.
