Things to do
A hiking paradise
The small town has several shops, restaurants, and beachfront cafés – or you can head back towards Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito and San Francisco for greater choice. From Stinson Beach, hikers and mountain bikers can follow one of the pine-scented trails into Mount Tamalpais State Park. At the mountain peak, you’ll enjoy wonderful views over the ocean and the bay, and on clear days you can admire the San Francisco skyline. In the summer, book tickets to experience “a great outdoor theatre adventure” in the 4,000-seater stone amphitheater that nestles atop a hillside in the park.
Activities
Glittering white sands at Stinson Beach
Stinson Beach boasts a picturesque, wide stretch of gleaming white sand at the foot of the green, forested hillsides of Mount Tamalpais State Park. The lively Pacific breakers make this beach a popular spot for surfers, windsurfers, hang-gliders, and kite-surfers. Rent a board at one of the surf shops nearby, where you can also book lessons. Along the beach, you’ll find picnic tables and BBQ grills, where you make the most of the beautiful view, kick back, and relax. If you’re traveling with kids, they will love the fine, white sand – perfect for building sandcastles.
Weather
Surfs up in Stinson Beach
The temperatures at Stinson Beach vary from a year-round steady low in the 40s and 50s to highs in the 70s and 80s. Even in summer, the water can be cool for swimmers – meaning the ocean here is mainly the preserve of surfers over the winter and spring months, and rafters and body boarders in the summer. It’s a very pleasant climate for making the most of the spectacular biking and hiking trails, whatever the time of year.
Natural features
Wonderful wildlife watching
The neighboring beach of Bolinas has a much rockier shoreline than Stinson Beach, but from either one it’s possible to spot dolphins, seals, and even whales. Winding through the shady groves of coast redwoods and oaks, chaparral, and deep canyons of Mount Tamalpais State Park and Muir Woods also offers great opportunities for wildlife spotting. These spectacular forests are home to deer, racoon, bobcats, and other animals. Perhaps the biggest visual treat from your Stinson Beach vacation rental, however, is the sun rising over misty morning mountains and setting again in vibrant evening hues over the ocean.
