California vacation… need help!?
300 mg Seroquel Hi everyone,
I am trying to plan an affordable solo vacation to California this summer/fall. I would like to travel around Labor Day, and my dates are not flexible…
I envision myself staying in a seaside cottage, with a quiet, warm beach. I don’t care about being in a big city (and would prefer to avoid San Francisco, San Diego, etc.). If at all possible, my preference would be somewhere near Redding, or in Humboldt County, as I have friends who live there and whom I’d like to see.
Can anyone suggest someplace warm, quiet, and with a good beach in Northern California around that time of year? Does it exist?
Thanks in advance, everyone!

Shasta, CA is close to Redding. It’s very quaint and just a friendly, clean place. I think you’d really like it

I have to agree that warm beaches do not exist in Northern California. September is the most likely time of year for a heat wave, which would make the beaches pretty warm, but the water will still be frigid. I would imagine that any beaches in the Humboldt area will be still colder than the beaches in the Bay Area.
It might help to know what kinds of activities you plan on doing at the beach. Lake Shasta, and Gold Beach in Oregon, are both close to your friends and have a lot of boating opportunities. However, they are sure to be packed on Labor Day. The Lost Coast south of Humboldt is hard to get to but is very quiet. It gets nearly as much rain as Oregon though, and will probably be pretty damn cold.
How about a road trip? You can start out at a relatively warm beach in the Santa Cruz area, or better yet somewhere farther south, and work your way up to your friends in the north.
