Redwood Highway CA California Freshwater Lagoon Beach Chrome Postcard Unused

The image is a vintage postcard featuring the scenic US Route 101, also known as the Redwood Highway, running between the Pacific Ocean and Freshwater Lagoon in Humboldt County, California.

Freshwater Lagoon is the northernmost of several lagoons in the Humboldt Lagoons State Park area.
The highway runs along a narrow sand spit, with the calm, freshwater lagoon on the east side and the dynamic ocean beach on the west.
The lagoon is a popular spot for calm water activities like kayaking and fishing, contrasting with the dangerous ocean surf nearby.
Half of the lagoon is within the boundaries of Redwood National Park.
