Incredible Experience. We visited the Tasting Room in Florence and April, the girl doing the tasting for us was fabulous. She explained the various flavors , What went into them and how they were made. We left with one of the most unique rums we have seen (Walnut-Fig), Delicious. April made the experience a fun one.

South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve

Reviewed By kathylisbeth - Medford, United States

The property covers such a diverse landscape and the trail is so well placed, you'll be thrilled at each change in landscape and water as you hike along. Be sure to pick up a trail map at the visitor center and plan your walk. If you don't want to do the entire loop, do the Sloughside Trail - walk to the point and enjoy the beautiful water viewpoints and on the way back, the trail becomes a boardwalk over Hidden Creek Marsh. So stunning is this piece of nature.

Bastendorff Beach

Reviewed By robbygc - Toronto, Canada

When we arrived I liked the brown sand. However, I saw lots of activities. There were lots of birds on the beach. Some were enjoying the river. Others liked the beach. I had never seen so many birds on a beach. The river went into the ocean. However, the dunes were attractive as well!
