Imagine owning a piece of the Northern California coast where ocean views, commercial potential, and the laid-back atmosphere of Shelter Cove come together. This 0.17-acre commercial-zoned lot in Whitethorn, Humboldt County, offers a unique opportunity to create a coastal business, investment property, or personal getaway just minutes from the Pacific Ocean.
Located within walking distance of the ocean, this property puts you close to the natural beauty and outdoor recreation that make Shelter Cove special. Spend your days exploring the Lost Coast, surfing, fishing, hiking, or simply enjoying the fresh coastal air and stunning scenery. From the property, you can take in ocean views while having convenient access to the surrounding community.
The CR-Q/D Commercial Recreation zoning provides potential for a variety of coastal-oriented uses, subject to county approval, permitting, and applicable regulations. Possibilities may include a small retail business, surf shop, parking area, food truck location, bed and breakfast, or another recreational or visitor-serving venture. There may also be an opportunity to pursue a conditional use permit for a single-family residence, providing additional flexibility for the right buyer.
Another major advantage is the availability of utilities nearby. Power is in the area, while water and sewer hookups are available at the street, potentially making future development more convenient than many remote coastal properties. Access to the property is via Surf Point.
Whether you envision a small commercial venture, a coastal basecamp, or a long-term investment, this Shelter Cove property offers an exciting opportunity to own land near California’s rugged and beautiful Lost Coast. Explore the possibilities and conduct your due diligence to determine how this unique parcel can fit your plans.
