Why locals recommend it
This sandy Marin beach, set in a cove, is a local favorite. As you walk onto the beach, you pass over Redwood Creek, a diverse wetland ecosystem, home to numerous shorebirds and even some endangered Coho salmon. Head to Muir Beach Overlook for a chance to see gray whales breaching in the winter or monarch butterflies in the pine trees. A perfect weekend picnic spot, Muir Beach is a great place to spend a day with the whole family. Bring layers just in case the fog rolls in.

Short Drive. Get there early or late or mid week. Go for a beer at the Pelican Inn which you'll see as drive in.

Great beach with an inlet allowing for some safe paddling for young kids and dogs! Smaller and less wild than Stinson. Our favorite (don't tell anyone else!)

The parking lot here makes this little beach popular with families and dogs. You can also hike over from Tennessee Valley road, or from the top of the hill at the Miwok trailhead. A beautiful spot and just a quick drive over the hill from us (10 minutes) when we don't feel like going all the way to Stinson.
