Recreation

Beaches
The most famous beach is Stinson Beach, which offers many activities including surfing. We like to take the bus to Pan Toll, then hike the Matt Davis Trail (or the shady Steep Ravine Trail) to Stinson Beach, spend the afternoon at the beach, and then take the bus back.
>> More Info

The closest beach is McNear’s Beach on the San Francisco Bay; it offers a mile of sandy beach, a pier, an outdoor swimming pool, two tennis courts and picnic tables.

Whale Watching
Peak months are January through March, when it is not uncommon to see up to 100 whales each day. The California gray whale migration is best viewed from the Point Reyes Lighthouse, or from a boat trip to the Farallone Islands.

China Camp State Park
The park at the San Francisco Bay acquired its name from a Chinese fishing village that once flourished there. China Camp offers picnic tables where you can have a BBQ; there are hiking, horseback riding and biking trails with sweeping views of the Bay. Visit the little museum and have some fresh shrimp at the adjacent fisherman’s cottage.

Angel Island
Visitors to the island can enjoy many kilometers of hiking and biking trails with breathtaking views around every bend. A clear day on the island is referred to as a 5 bridge day, when from the top of Mt. Livermore hikers can view the Golden Gate, Bay, Richmond/San Rafael, San Mateo and the Dumbarton bridges.

Location: Angel Island is just off Tiburon from where you can take a ferry.

Muir Woods
Muir Woods National Monument is the best place to experience California’s grand redwood trees. It is not uncommon to see redwood trees here that are several hundred years old.
