Bolinas



The reluctant town of Bolinas sits just north of Stinson Beach, and couldn't be more different. It's infamous for its feisty, isolationist-minded residents who continue to resist having any kind of signage identifying the town from the main road - you have to know to hang a left on an unmarked, wooded turnoff. What you'll find is a rundown, backward community that tries hard to avoid their town turning into a yuppie tourist haunt. They have charmingly succeeded. A pleasant diversion, a collection of dilapidated Victorian wooden buildings, and a great beach.
