Summary: NOT TOO BAD OR PARTICULARLY GOOD
Review: as a VERY basic introduction to some of the more popular spots in northern california,this book does its job o.k. i felt that not enough information was given,i was craving more.the author writes with a sense of humor which is fun to read,but just barely touches on the different places,attractions,parks,etc..

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Northern California given justice
Review: Finally, a book regarding the best places in Northern California! This book was easy to comprehend, delightful to read, and very informative. As a high-school student I am happy to know i have decades remaining to visit these places.

Summary: Tell Me Something I Don't Already Know....
Review: I was very disappointed in this book. I am a native to Northern California and wanted to learn more about our Coast, since I live within an hour's drive of many beaches. The author skipped over most of the smaller beaches and just gave incredibly short summaries of the most popular places - I did not need a book for this information! The authors majored on restaurants and lodgings, however, since they only gave listings for the more popular sites, none of the information was helpful to me. I was planning a trip to Pacifica, and there wasn't a single entry on that entire town!! There are probably 3 hotels (at least) and many, many restaurants and beaches there. But there was not even a paragraph about any of it.

I purchased the book because I wanted one dedicated to Northern California's unique beaches. However, I was much happier with another book that while it also listed the beaches in Southern California, at least I had access to a satisfactory amount of insight into the Northern California beaches. The book is named "Foghorn Outdoors California Beaches" - you can see my review under that book if you are interested.

As for this book, I wish I had not wasted my money.
