Sonoma Coast State Beaches

NileGuide Expert tip:

This stunning stretch of classic California coastline is a destination unto itself. Sandy beaches backed by rocky cliffs, tide pools full of life, and the raw spirit of nature make the Sonoma coast something special.

Description:

• If you're looking for unparalleled ocean views, fascinating history and wildlife, and stunning sunsets, the Sonoma Coast State Beaches should be your first stop on a trip to the San Francisco Bay Area. The area is close enough to the wine country of Sonoma County to warrant an overnight stay or three, with enough fine dining, quaint B&Bs, quiet campgrounds, untouched coves, windy bluffs, whale watching, scuba diving, hang gliding, surfing, fishing, sailing, kayaking... I could go on for days... to fill an entire California vacation. Even just a long leisurely drive up Highway 1, with plenty of stops to take in the vistas, visit the beaches, and taste the local seafood, will likely be the highlight of your west coast trip.
