Description:
The California coast is but one portion of the enormous state of California, but it's no paltry area. Stretching 1,100 miles from Mexico on up to the Oregon border, the California coast is replete with rocky crests and sandy beaches, secluded coves and surfer hangouts, whale-watch points, tide-pools, volleyball arenas, and trendy bars with fancy cocktails and dramatic views. Neuwirth and Osborn know every nook and cranny of the coast, but they also know the wonderful details of history, personalities, wildlife, and local myth. They share a passion for their subject that comes through in their personable yet informative guide. Sure, they tell you where the super-tube swells break, what the entrance fees are, whether dogs are allowed, and where to stay, eat, and recreate while you're there, but they also tell you how and when the rivers formed, where the dolphins herd fish through shallow waters, what trails are best for wildflowers, and which beaches have the friendliest ambiance. And best of all, they provide specific, accurate, reliable directions, so once you've set your sights on Point Reyes Kehoe Beach, you can actually find the trailhead and arrive at your destination before the sun sets on Drakes Bay. In short, whether you're looking for one particular experience or want to sample all there is to be seen, heard, felt, tasted, and smelled, it's worth thumbing through The California Coast before you put your convertible top down and hit Highway 1. --Stephanie Gold
