Review:

Miles of fine white sand, warm water and plenty of good company make Stinson Beach one of the best places to visit in Northern California. You can walk the beach for miles, go for a swim - there is a lifeguard - or join one of the many beach volleyball games going on. Great picnic areas are popular for family barbecues and dogs are allowed provided they are on a leash.

The beach is also popular with windsurfers, especially when the northwesterly wind blows in the afternoon. Stroll to nearby town Stinson Beach for a nice meal or to check out the shops.

Stinson Beach is a popular spot for water sports, and visitors can wind surf, hang glide or kayak.

Many local surf shops will be happy to rent out equipment, and even offers lessons. There are some great hikes with trailheads that start at the beach taking you to Mount Tamalpais State Park.
