We drove south on Route 1 and found our way to Stinson Beach. We had planned on staying at the Point Reyes Hostel, but the manager was so rude that we turned our car around without ever having gotten out.The Stinson Beach Motel was the perfect solution, and the tanned, bermuda short wearing owner who could not have been friendlier. For $85 we had a small, clean room with an incredible mattress that was just minutes from the beach. In fact, we walked to the beach in the dark that night. The Milky Way shone and I made out four of the Seven Sisters. The beach is wide and flat, but there’s always a thrill to being on the beach at night, especially a beach you’ve never been to before. Friends in Portland recommended the Sand Dollar Restaurant. We went for dinner and there was a live guitar and piano player. The food was decent and moderately priced.  It’s a tiny beach town, but it’s also obvious you’re just an hour north of San Francisco.
