Humboldt Lagoons State Park is a state park of California, United States, protecting three lagoons on the Pacific coast. It is located off U.S. Route 101 between Eureka, California, and the Oregon border. Big Lagoon is the largest and southernmost lagoon. Stone Lagoon is in the middle, and Freshwater Lagoon is the northernmost and smallest. The lagoons are shallow bays between rocky headlands where coastal wave action has formed a sandy bar separating each lagoon from the ocean. The 2,256-acre (913 ha) park was established in 1931.
