Summering at the coast

Start Thurston Howell III accent now... Looks like we'll be summering at the coast this year, at least for one week of it. We're moving up our annual Sea Ranch trip to the first week of July and I just booked our rental house. We'll be on the bluff, overlooking the water, just a short walk from some of the numerous hiking trails and Shell Beach. Yaaay.


Here's the view from the Deck:
Doesn't it just look divine? We sure like Sea Ranch! We have spent a week up there for Labor Day each of the last two years and it is the most wonderful place in California, as far as I'm concerned. If you want to check it out, get a rental house here. Once you're there, you have to check out some of the local flavors:
TwoFish Bakery (get there EARLY), St Orres (bring lotsa money), the Sandpiper, and so many more. Don't forget your golf clubs, Sea Ranch has a great 18 hole links style layout. It's some of the best coastal golf in California and it's reasonably priced at around $60 per round. If you feel like exploring, head over the hill to Boonville or drive up the coast to Mendocino or nearby Fort Bragg and have some lunch at North Coast Brewing's tap room. They have some kickin' beers and good grub. Put down a few Old Stock Ales (13+% alcohol), then drag ass down the street and get some coastal ink.
Well, the couch is calling, and I'd better heed.
Thurston Out!

Not to be outdone because I have always wanted to go to Sea Ranch, however, your post reminded Laura and I the reason we fell in love with Elk and in my itch to get away, we're going in March! The three of us (1oldhouse etal) are our own Vistor's Bureau for No. Cal getaways!
