Experience the California Coast
A Guide to Beaches and Parks in Northern California

California Coastal Commission Staff

California’s shoreline between the Golden Gate and the Oregon border offers an endless variety of coastal attractions: soft white sand and course pebble beaches, forests of Sitka spruce and fields of poppies, redwood glades and crashing surf, lighthouses and whales.

This easy-to-use, up-to-date, comprehensive guidebook, packed with information, tells you where to go in coastal Northern California, how to get there, what facilities to expect, and what you can do at each location. Gorgeous color photos, topo maps, and abundant info on natural history and the environment make it the perfect guide to pack along on any excursion to the North Coast for hikers, picnickers, campers, surfers, divers, wheelchair users, birders, boaters, kayakers, anglers, and travelers.
