With the sun beating down on Stinson Beach, we’re surprised to find lots of parking available at the lot next to the beach.  The salty ocean air attracts locals and tourists alike.  As we approach the beach, we’re excited to see such a variety of people on the beach.  

Children are building sand castles, all-ages are jogging, teenagers are giggling and slathering up with lotion, and seniors are reading books under umbrellas.  Die-hard surfers in wet suits are braving the waves, seagulls are screeching and swooping, and dogs are running their owners.  

Unlike some California beaches, Stinson feels uncompetitive and friendly (360º)We can't shed our shoes fast enough.  The sand is firm but warm and we run down to the shoreline and tease the waves to get our toes wet.  A good day to soak up some sun and dream of paradise.

After a couple of hours, we decide to wander over to main street in downtown Stinson and check out some of the shops and restaurants.  

All of Stinson is no more than a block and a half, but has patio restaurants, boutiques and artists at work.
What a great day we've had.  It's almost time to head back to our hotel, but not before we find that mysterious little town of Bolinas, sometimes referred to as the last outpost of the 60’s and 70’s counterculture.  

Back on the road...
