  • Well go south on Highway 1 to Half Moon Bay which is about 20 miles south of San Francisco. You will find a bunch of seaside communities that have lots to do. My favorite thing to do is hangout at the Montara beach and watch the waves with a cold chardonay! Go on the weekdays to insure the secret feeling of your private beach.

    Beaches / Pacific Coast: From Ocean Beach to Big Sur

  • When I left California, my home state, in 2001 I had no way of knowing what - besides my family - I might miss as the years passed. As it turns out, the things I enjoyed then are what I really miss now, which shouldn't come as a surprise. And no one on that list is the Pacific Coast. Wander virtually any beach in California and you're in for a treat. In San Francisco, stop at Baker beach if you are one of the brave types who's ready to shed your trunks (though I never did) - although as I understand it only a part of the beach is for nudists. I love the view of the Golden Gate Bridge from this spot, which is just a few meters from the Presidio, another great spot for sweepingly delicious views of this city-by-the-bay. Wander then towards the Cliff House and you've gone from a bay view to a truly Pacific View: ocean beach stretches for many miles, starting at the turn-of-the-last-century architectural wonder that is the Cliff House and its lego-like-shops and restaurants out to a rocky bit of shore near my alma mater, San Francisco State. Here's where you'll see the great surfing in San francisco. While the guys and gals in the water here wear wet suits year round -- I've never touched my toe in warm water in Northern California -- it's a great time watching them gear up for the challenge. There are rows and rows of cars lined up with surfers year-round.

    When heading up to Mount Tamalpais which is a common tourist destination, which by all means has a great view of the urban landscape, I personally like the more quiet and relaxing views over looking Stinson Beach for its masterful sunsets. Along with its views it has many day trek trails that wind themselves down into the valleys below if you want to dip your toes in a little Pacific sea water.
