Glowing Sunset on Bolinas Bay, Stinson Beach, California Title
Glowing Sunset on Bolinas Bay, Stinson Beach, California Title
Seen from hiking trails in the hills, the gentle curve of Stinson Beach, just north  of San Francisco, California, stretches northward on a sunny day
#OrbitzTravel
Cross the Golden Gate leaving San Francisco and head up the coast to Stinson Beach for an amazing sunset.  When you get to Stinson, head up the road going toward Mt. Tamalpais to gain a little elevation.  The night I went, there was a huge fog bank that moved in from the Pacific, making the sunset even more dramatic.  #california #stinsonbeach #sunset #fog #lifeatexpedia
