Bolinas Beanie

A Hidden Town Worth Finding

With its counter-cultural roots, rocky coastline and twinkling views of San Francisco, you can understand why Bolinas wants to keep a low profile. But in spite of many locals’ best efforts, this West Marin hideout is no secret, especially for surfers. Bolinas is a haven for newbies, but when a big south swell pours in, it’s no place for beginners. Fast peeling waves rifle left and right over shallow water, providing a cover for those able to dodge the human flotsam on the inside.
