“Feels like you're a million miles away from S.F.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 March 2012

We decided to drive up the west Marin coastline and started at Muir Beach. The day was warm and crystal clear. We could actually see Twin Peaks from the lookout. The stunning rugged coast is like a postcard. If you have the chance this is a peaceful and serene stop. More

5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 June 2011
