"Set on a cliff above
perhaps the most stunning stretch of coastline in
California, the Lost Whale Inn is a spectacular retreat."
(Bed & Breakfast Guide, Prentice-Hall)
Situated on 5 wooded acres, the inn has 6 rooms, all with private bath and most with spectacular ocean views. Guests can enjoy the decks, gardens and hot tub which all view the ocean. Included are a huge, gourmet breakfast and afternoon tea. Located 4 miles north of the village of Trinidad and 20 minutes' drive north of Eureka, the Lost Whale Inn is secluded and quiet, and only fifteen minutes from Redwood National Park, home of the largest trees in the world. There are over 100, 000 acres of hiking trails nearby, and miles of unspoiled beaches. Walk to Patrick's Point State Park, or bicycle, fish, boat, golf, horseback ride or beachcomb within minutes from the inn.
Sunset Magazine named the Lost Whale Inn the best place to stay in Trinidad and noted: "the breakfasts are fabulous." Built in 1989, the inn is quiet, soundproofed and romantic. American Historic Inns chose the Lost Whale as "one of the ten most romantic inns in the entire US."

We are one of the only inns on the west coast that can boast of a scenic, wooded trail leading to our secluded private beach and cove complete with jutting rocks, tide pools that are brimming with abundant marine life. |
You will wake up to the waves crashing over Abalone Cove's breath-taking sea stacks, while hearing and later seeing the barking sea lions that colonize the turtle sea stack just below the Inn.
Our Rooms.....
The Lost Whale Inn
has 5 spacious rooms, all with private baths and queen-sized beds. Many rooms have

Near the end of the day, partake of an afternoon tea of wine, sherry and pastries. Soak in our hot tub overlooking the ocean and watch the glorious sunset. Afterward, indulge in the culinary expertise of our nearby award-winning restaurants.
In the quiet of the night, lounge in the living room and listen to music or engage in
conversation with other guests. Curl up with a good book from our library in front of a
warming fire.
If you're bringing the kids, be assured there are endless ways to channel their boundless
energies. While you're
relaxing on the deck, they'll have the run of the enclosed grounds as they pick berries
near the greenhouse. Also, they'll have fun in our elaborate playground and playhouse. At
day's end, they'll delight in sleeping in their very own loft.
For those of you who come in the winter months, the excitement of ocean storms is an added attraction. The peace and solitude can be a refreshing and welcome break from your fast-paced life.
