Stinson
Beach park is part of the Golden Gate Recreation Area. Stinson
Beach is about a 30-minute drive on California's Highway 1 from
the Golden Gate Bridge. During the summer thousand's of people
escape San Francisco and head toward Stinson Beach for a day
in the sun. The surrounding hills offer hiking and biking trails
with sweeping views of the beach and coastline. The beach is
3.5 miles long with an adjacent 51 acre park. Nearby you will
find Bolinas Lagoon preserve, an 1,100 acres of tidal estuary,
Mount Tamalpais State Park and Muir
Woods. Stinson Beach is a nice day trip from San
Francisco or a stopping off point for your journey north along
Highway one. |
