Toes in the Sand

I heard some news the other day that made me pause and think—think about growing up by the ocean in San Francisco where the beaches were our playground. Bakers Beach and Kelly’s Cove, the long, desolate stretch of Ocean Beach, combers sloshing ashore all the way to Daly City, the first time I kissed a boy behind a dune. Read More.....

Carlsbad State Beach, Carlsbad California

Beautiful Carlsbad State Beach, also known as Tamarack Beach to the locals, is located alongside Carlsbad Blvd at Tamarack Ave. in Carlsbad. This 14 acre stretch of beach runs south about 4-5 miles where it joins South Carlsbad State Beach. This is a great spot for both offshore and onshore goers. Offshore you will find surfers, kayakers and boaters. The waves here are more for experienced surfers and break right and left. Check them out they are original. Where the surf meets the sand, you will see swimmers and body boarders and occasionally fisherman. Onshore you will see it all from kids playing in the sand to families having a BBQ. This beach is also extremely beautiful with its beach side and bluff side trails. Picnic spots are also located on the bluffs with stairs that run down to the beach. You can also view awesome sunsets from the bluffs. You can usually get lucky finding a parking spot on a side street. If not, there is a vehicle fee at entrance of beach.Call ahead of time for fees and beach hours.




Carlsbad State Beach, from Pine Street south to Cannon Road, including Frazee State Beach/Tamarack Surf Beach and Warm Water Jetty (in front of the power plant), is one of San Diego’s most popular beaches. The City of Carlsbad provides beach access at Pine Avenue, Sycamore Avenue, Maple Avenue, Cherry Avenue and Tamarack Avenue. Two seawalls connect Pine Avenue and Tamarack Avenue. Dogs on leashes are allowed up top, but not on the lower path. Public restrooms and showers are at both ends of the path. A seawall also extends from Tamarack south to Cannon Road for those looking for a longer trek

Brooke Burke

Hearts Desire Beach, Tomales Bay State Park

Tomales Bay Oyster Company, specializing in fresh farmed oysters and clams, pulled straight from the ocean water before your eyes.

Tomales Bay

The place is packed with people filling up dozens of picnic tables, barbequing their shellfish fresh from the sea, with this sweet beach shack playing music while you enjoy the view. Then head on over to Hearts Desire Beach and enjoy all the beauty you can handle.
Since it's safe to swim here, unlike other beaches in Point Reyes, make sure you bring the swim suits and swim gear if the weather allows. Buckets, shovels, and other sand toys are a must for the little ones. On nice days it can be quite warm and sunny here, so sunscreen and hats are a must. Of course, since the weather out in West Marin can be unpredicatable, it doesn't hurt to bring a jacket and sweatshirts, too (in other words, dress in layers, as we usually suggest). Get to Tomales Bay State Park and Heart's Desire Beach by heading out past Inverness on Sir Francis Drake Boulevard., then bear right onto Pierce Point Road. Continue on Pierce Point Road until you see the sign for Tomales Bay State Park, then make a right turn into the park. Unlike the rest of Point Reyes National Seashore, this is a California State Park, so you’ll have to pay a $8 vehicle entry fee at the ranger station that you’ll pass on the way to the beach. It’s well worth it. Dogs are not allowed on the beaches or trails at Tomales Bay State Park. Heart's Desire Beach is currently closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.  Read more..........

Last stop, Nick’s Cove, another fantastic restaurant where we’ve dined in the past, with a fantastic view and also cottages you can rent to stay overnight.

Most great hotels want to make you feel as though you're rich, but Nick’s also wants to make you feel as though you are tasteful, well traveled and just plain interesting."

--Russ Parsons, Los Angeles Times


Nick’s is a very special place that honors and respects the area, giving visitors a glimmer of an agrarian life that’s so near but really so far from the city consciousness. It seems impossible to believe it’s still in the 415 area code."
