Shelter Cove is a census-designated place[3] in Humboldt County, California.[2] It lies at an elevation of 138 feet (42 m).[2] Shelter Cove is on California's Lost Coast where the King Range meets the Pacific Ocean. A nine-hole golf course surrounds the one-runway Shelter Cove Airport at the center of Shelter Cove's commercial district. Utilities are provided by the Humboldt County Resort Improvement District #1 and boating access to the sea is managed by the Humboldt Bay Harbor, Recreation & Conservation District. The population was 803 at the 2020 census.

Shelter Cove shares a ZIP code (95589) with the hamlet of Whitethorn, California, located to the southeast. The community is inside telephone area code 707. Sinkyone Wilderness State Park is about 6 miles (9.7 km) south of Shelter Cove on the coast. There are also parks such as Black Sands Beach, Mal Coombs Park, Seal Rock Picnic Area and Abalone Point. Much of the land around Shelter Cove is in the King Range National Conservation Area, managed by the Bureau of Land Management. Cove amenities include hiking trails, deli, coffee shop, restaurants, multiple inns, a general store, and gift shops. Other amenities in Shelter Cove include a small aircraft airstrip, a boat launch, and recreational vehicle parking. Some services not available in Shelter Cove are in the towns of Redway and Garberville on the U.S. 101 corridor, about 20 miles (32 km) of winding county road to the east.

History

The area around Shelter Cove was originally home to Native Americans known as the Sinkyone people.

An illustration of the collision between the Columbia and San Pedro near Shelter Cove on July 21, 1907

Near Shelter Cove on July 21, 1907, the coastal passenger steamer Columbia collided with the steam schooner San Pedro amidst dense fog. The Columbia subsequently sank, killing 88 people. Although badly damaged, San Pedro stayed afloat and helped to rescue Columbia's survivors.[4]

Because of the very steep terrain on the coastal areas surrounding Shelter Cove, the highway builders constructing State Route 1 (the "Shoreline Highway") decided it was too difficult to build the coastal highway along a long stretch of what is now known as the Lost Coast. As a result, the small fishing village of Shelter Cove remained secluded from the rest of the state, despite being only 230 miles (370 km) north of San Francisco, and is accessible by boat, by paved mountain road, or by the small Shelter Cove Airport.

As a result of its seclusion, the Shelter Cove area has become popular for those seeking a quiet vacation respite or retirement area. Popular activities include fishing, whale watching, hiking, diving for abalone, and other outdoor activities.

The Cape Mendocino Light, a lighthouse from Cape Mendocino, was moved by helicopter to Mal Coombs Park in 1998. A post office operated at Shelter Cove from 1892 to 1933, moving in 1898.[5]

Climate

Shelter Cove has a warm-summer Mediterranean climate (Köppen: Csb) typical of the North Coast,[10] that is characterized by warm (but not hot), dry summers, and mild to chilly, rainy winters. Shelter Cove's climate is moderated by the proximity to the Pacific Ocean, with small temperature variations on average throughout the year, which result in mild year-round temperatures, although some winter months can get cool at times. Average high temperatures range from 58 °F (14 °C) in January to 70 °F (21 °C) in September.[11] Shelter Cove on average has wet winters and dry summers, also representative of the region. Temperatures above 32 °C (90 °F) are rare, happening on average 1–2 times per season, but temperatures approaching 34 °C (93 °F) or above have been measured over such a wide time period as from April to October.[12] For being a coastal community north of the San Francisco Bay Area, Shelter Cove has mild winter temperatures and warm summers.
