Review:
Right next to Mt. Tamalpais State Park, just twenty minutes from San Francisco, is Stinson Beach, a popular beach for locals day-tripping from the Bay Area. Visitors to beach can take boat tours for whale and dolphin watching, hike or walk the beach, have picnic, go treasure hunting, collect shells, surf, fish, and swim, along with other water sports and recreation. The water at the beach is relatively shallow and calm and great for families with young children. Other points of interest nearby include Audubon Canyon Ranch, Martin Griffin Preserve, Point Reyes Lighthouse, Bolinas Lagoon Preserve, Red Rock Beach, and Mt. Tamalpais State Park.
