خليج همبولت Humboldt Bay هو خليج طبيعي[3] ولاگون ساحلي متعدد الأحواض تفصلها ألسنة رملية[4] ويقع في الساحل الشمالي الوعر لكاليفورنيا، يقع بالكامل ضمن مقاطعة همبولت، بالولايات المتحدة. وهو أكبر مسطح مائي محمي على الساحل الغربي بين خليج سان فرانسسكو و پيوجت، اللسان البحري، ثاني أكبر أكبر خليج محاط به في كاليفورنيا،[5] and the largest port between San Francisco and Coos Bay, Oregon.[4] The largest city adjoining the bay is Eureka, the regional center and county seat of Humboldt County, followed by the town of Arcata. These primary cities, together with adjoining unincorporated communities and several small towns, comprise a Humboldt Bay Area total population of nearly 80,000 people. This comprises nearly 60% of the population of Humboldt County.[6] The bay is home to more than 100 plant species, 300 invertebrate species, 100 fish species, and 200 bird species.[7] In addition, the bay and its complex system of marshes and grasses support hundreds of thousands of migrating and local shore birds.[8] Commercially, this second-largest estuary in California is the site of the largest oyster production operations on the West Coast, producing more than half of all oysters farmed in California.[9]

ميناء خليج همبولت (ويشار إليه أيضاً بإسم "ميناء يوريكا") هو deep water port with harbor facilities, including large industrial docks at Fairhaven, Samoa, and Fields Landing, designed to serve cargo and other vessels. Several marinas also located in Greater Eureka have the capacity to serve hundreds of small to mid-size boats and pleasure craft.[10] Since the 1850s, the bay was used extensively to export logs and forest products as part of the historic West coast lumber trade. There is now infrequent shipping of this product.[10]

Easterly view from the docks of Eureka's Woodley Island Marina. Carson Mansion at dusk, with distant view of California Coast Ranges due east of the populated Humboldt Bay area.
Northerly view from Woodley Island of Monterey cypress trees on Indian Island, the largest of three islands, all of which are in the Eureka City limits. The great egret nests in these trees in large numbers each year.

About 80,000 people reside on the shore of the bay in at least 20 named settlements on the coastal plain around the bay estuary. Most of these are unincorporated suburbs of the City of Eureka.

Settlements located on or near the bay, listed clockwise from the north side of the bay entrance:
