Bolinas Lagoon

Just outside of the Point Reyes National Seashore.

Reviewed By Alicsyed - Fremont, United States

When heading North on Rt.1 starting from Stinson Beach to Wilkins Gulch you can see this beautiful lagoon. The water were very calm in the lagoon during the evening when we were driving on Rt. 1. Number of folks were fishing, and there are a few areas where you can pull over and enjoy the lagoon from Rt.1. Launching a kayak is not recommended from Rt.1 into this lagoon based on a sign we saw that was posted.

Alamere Falls

Spectacular 40-foot waterfall, considered to be one of the rare examples of ocean bluff falls in the world.

Reviewed By Explorer767135 - Mountain View, United States

As many people have written here there are 2 paths to this spectacular view. We did both ways and to be honest I was scared on the way back using the short cut. It did cut down significant miles from our hike but tread carefully!

Bolinas Beach

A beach with smooth and friendly waves for the surfing beginner.

Reviewed By R7854GNjeanl

For many years I've driven down the Ca. Coastal Highway, and can find Bolinas, even without the sign that legend has it is taken down by residents to keep their paradise secret. I understand why, and want to help them hide their paradise. It's a place that time has forgotten. Think hippie lifestyle , organic everything, and narrow streets that wind down to a calm beautiful Bay. Not telling you how to get there. You'll have to figure it out.
