Nestled along the Pacific Ocean coastline, Stinson Beach is a picturesque seaside community known for its stunning natural beauty and laid-back atmosphere.

On sunny days, visitors flock to its shores to enjoy breathtaking ocean views and peaceful vibes.

Beyond the beach, Stinson Beach offers access to some of the most scenic hiking trails in Marin County, including routes that connect to Mount Tamalpais State Park.
