Welcome to Crescent City Harbor in Crescent City, CA.
Harbor Virtual Tour
The Crescent City Harbor serves as a commercial fishing boat basin for Salmon, Shrimp, Tuna, Cod, and Dungeness Crab commercial fishing vessels.
The Harbor is also home to multiple fishing and non-fishing related businesses and harbor governmental offices. The Crescent City Harbor also has several pleasure boat docks.
One traditional bright spot is the port's shipyard, where Fashion Blacksmith remains a West Coast leading light at lengthening, widening or otherwise altering fishing boats.
Another: The cyclical Dungeness crab fishery aligned jackpots on its dial recently -- ringing up numbers ($17 million in landings last year, $15 million the season before) not seen in a decade.
A new kind of bright spot, a possible harbinger of a new era, is found only a hop, skip and jump east of the Harbor Commisioners office. South Beach Outfitters, a surf gear and beach gift shop, sits perched above Crescent City's gentle longboard break.
Back in 1990, that same sweet surf drew Bev and Rhynn Noll (ex-wife and son of big wave legend Greg Noll) to establish their shop, Noll Surf 'n' Skate, farther to the north downtown. In 1995, they launched the Noll Longboard Classic at the Crescent break.
The new master plan includes museums, three restaurants, a strip of retail stores the surf shop will be invited to move into, and a three-story hotel overlooking the surf break.

Fran... this turned out nice. It looks like it will end up being a nice place to hang out at when it's completed.
