The region around Elk was home to some of the first non-native settlers along the coast. The town is perched above a spectacular rocky cove opening out to the Pacific Ocean. Around the turn of the century this town was alive with hotels, saloons, and general stores. Jack London enjoyed visiting Elk during the early 1900’s and stayed in a hotel room overlooking the ocean. Today, Elk is an intimate and charming town. The Coast Highway, which runs through the center of town, is lined with shops, inns and restaurants. Greenwood State Beach has hiking trails leading to tide pools and grand vistas, and has a small museum.
For natural beauty and respite from the modern pace, visit Elk.
