Stinson Beach Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Glowing Sunset on Bolinas Bay, Stinson Beach, California Title
Seen from hiking trails in the hills, the gentle curve of Stinson Beach, just north  of San Francisco, California, stretches northward on a sunny day
#OrbitzTravel
Cross the Golden Gate leaving San Francisco and head up the coast to Stinson Beach for an amazing sunset.  When you get to Stinson, head up the road going toward Mt. Tamalpais to gain a little elevation.  The night I went, there was a huge fog bank that moved in from the Pacific, making the sunset even more dramatic.  #california #stinsonbeach #sunset #fog #lifeatexpedia

We booked this hotel because of the pool but it was out of order for our stay. The rooms were cramped. AC didn’t work. Would not recommend
