    "Near the beaches around Trinidad and Patrick’s point. Moonstone beach is a well known, easily accessible beach in westshaven. Westshaven is safe, with a rural feel to is as many of the houses have property and some with animals like horses and goats. It’s got a nice climate, sunnier than much of the surrounding areas. Its away from the riff raff of the bigger towns and is over a very lovely place "

    "I live here and have loved every minute of being so fortunate to be able to own a piece of this beautiful community. Great neighbors, God's gift of beauty for all to enjoy. Love watching the whales go by and hear the sea lions talking."

    "I have had the pleasure of living here over 30 years, listen to the ocean and watch the whales go by. Raised our 2 sons here, so safe and family friendly neighborhood. You are making dinner and found you are out of flour just go to your neighbor and borrow it, just like the old days. This area is just above Agate Beach, between two parks, Patrick's Point State Park on one side and Redwood National Park on the other side. Watch the whales go by and listen to the sounds of the surf, and hear the sea lions. What else could you want, oh how about the beautiful sunsets, and the majestic redwood trees. "
