Black Sands Beach

Reviewed By onecoolraisin - Huntersville, United States

This beach is a hike down so don’t plan to bring a lot with you. The sand is beautiful and the hike cuts down on the number of people. I believe there were only 6 other people on the beach while we were there. Easily recommend swinging by here to cool off and avoid the crowds. And yes, there were 2 nudists on the beach but so far off on the end that it wasn’t a bother.

The Marine Mammal Center

The largest of six centers that rescue and rehabilitate seals and sea lions found along the California coast.

Reviewed By cyndiv2014 - Portland, United States

The Marine Mammal Center is a hospital for injured animals. They house and rehabilitate any number of marine mammals including sea lions and sea otters. There are several stations where visitors can learn about tagging and how biologists track animals, fishing nets and the dangers they pose to sea life, and how they care for their patients. I visited with my boisterous son on a Thursday afternoon. If you have an active child, this may not be the best place to come if there isn't a tour. It is a hospital, and they try to keep it quiet for the animals' comfort. My son was anything but quiet. We're looking forward to visiting again when a tour is happening; Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. The gift shop is also A+.

This is one of my favorite places for hiking and watching surfers in the cold water! The parking is free and easy, with plenty of spots.

Slacker Hill Trail

Reviewed By NicholasSegeyWong - Southside Place, United States

Slacker Hill is a very delicious mountain, with a wild landscape and a summit perfect for a picnic. Once you reach the top, you can see the Golden Gate, downtown San Francisco, and a majority of the Marin Headlands. The best trail is the part where you turn your back to the roundabout and parking lot and cross the street. There, you’ll see a near-vertical opening in a mass of shrubs. The part you see is the hardest part. When you get up, the trail gets less tiring. Usually, you can finish the climb in about fifty minutes. If you would like, you can hike down from the top to the ruins below and the Golden Gate vicinity.
