About
the Town:
The
town is located along the California coast at the north
end of Humboldt Bay. The area is rich in arts and culture.
Arcata is seven miles north of Eureka, the county seat,
and a 5-6 hour drive from San Francisco on highway
101. The region is known for its natural beauty and
creative energy.
The
Plaza, with its lawns, flowerbeds and statue of President
McKinley, is the social and commercial center of Arcata.
Delightful shops, boutiques and restaurants line the
Plaza, and it's the venue for numerous events including
farmers markets, the Kinetic
Sculpture Race, Pastels on the Plaza and the North
Country Fair. Of particular note is the beautifully
restored Jacoby's Storehouse, a California Historic
Landmark.
Radiating from the Plaza are commercial streets full of unexpected shopping
and dining treasures. Arcata, being a college town, the local bookstores
and coffee houses are especially interesting. The town also contains
many restored Victorian homes.
