NileGuide Expert tip:
Whenever you're heading to the beach in Northern California, prepare for the fog and wind. Even at the height of summer, the marine layer can roll in with only a brief announcement of its imminent appearance, and rudely make everything damp and cold.
Description:
This series of California state beaches north from Bodega Bay to the Mendocino County line feature superlative cliffs, rock formations and lonely coves that beg to be explored. On weekends you'll find the many campgrounds in the area full of abalone divers, sea kayakers, surfers and rock climbers, who all journey to this natural playground for some of the best conditions in Northern California for their various pastimes. Even if you're just interested in a relaxing hike or a day at the beach, this idyll beckons. Just two hours north of San Francisco, along some of the prettiest highway in the world, the Sonoma Coast State Beaches are a can't miss San Francisco Bay Area attraction if you love the outdoors.
