Rim Trail runs from the parking area at Agate Beach along the coast, through woods and meadows to Palmer's Point where several short trails lead to the shore. As Highway 101 leads north from St. Patrick's Point, the road runs through Humboldt Lagoons State Park , beside fifteen miles of sand beaches, rocky headlands, old-growth forest and freshwater lagoons and marshes. The lagoons are popular during summer months as beach fans and campers congregate along the shoreline. Redwood National Park's visitor center is located beside the highway. The large park, surrounding three state parks, is to the north.
Redwood Creek flows through the center of the valley.
