Looking for unique things to do in California? Discover my list of hidden gems, unusual attractions, and cool places throughout the state.

California has an abundance of activities and places to visit up and down the state. It is, of course, most known for the stunning, long coastline it boasts along the West Coast.

One of my favorite hidden gems in Northern California is the town of Felton. It’s a small town tucked into the redwoods with an incredible railroad camp from the 1800s!

Just a dozen miles north of Santa Cruz is the hidden gem Davenport, California. It’s an incredible coastal city with jaw-dropping beaches and small-town vibes.
