Life revolves around the water in the Muir Beach area. Stroll along the quiet sandy cove and watch the waves crashing in, go wildlife watching in the nearby wetlands and embark on a coastal hike to one of the most scenic overlooks in the region. Muir Beach is named after John Muir, a famous American conservationist responsible for safeguarding some of the most beautiful wild places in the U.S. Muir campaigned to have some of the country’s more precious wild places protected and preserved by the government. Appreciate the serenity on quiet Muir Beach, a small cove where Pacific waves roll onto the sand and crash into adjacent jagged rock formations. It is a favourite strolling spot among locals. Though the Pacific waters are cold, it is possible to body surf. During winter, watch for whales from the shore. Note that the northern end of the beach is clothing-optional. Several trails crisscross Muir Beach. Follow the Dias Ridge Trail for rugged coastline views or venture along the Coastal Trail, which leads to Tennessee Cove. This coarse sand beach is bordered by high rocky cliffs. The beach is named after the SS Tennessee steamship, which was wrecked here in 1853. Look for rusting remnants of the vessel visible at very low tide. Find signs pointing to the Muir Beach Overlook. North of the beach, this lookout spot offers exceptional views of the rugged Californian coast. On a clear day, you can see as far as San Francisco. From December through February migrating whales swim offshore. The freshwater Redwood Creek runs into Muir Beach. Explore the area around the creek and look for large fish and various shorebirds. It is also possible to see monarch butterflies in the Monterey pine grove at Muir Beach during their annual fall migration. Visit Muir Beach in Marin County, California, about 3 miles (5 kilometres) west of [Muir Woods](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Muir-Woods-National-Monument-Mill-Valley.d502565.Attraction). Driving from San Francisco to Muir Beach will take about 30 minutes. - Top hotels in Muir Beach - Top Holiday Rentals in Muir Beach ![Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/30000/24700/24625/6fb55356_y.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=340&ch=150) ### Hotel Riu Plaza Fisherman's Wharf 2500 Mason St, San Francisco, CA £138 21 Sept - 22 Sept includes taxes & fees Stay at this eco-certified hotel in San Francisco.
