The Marin Headlands are a state park right here in the North Bay. It's a beautiful area with many little beaches to explore and amazing views of the Golden Gate, San Francisco and the Pacific Ocean. There is this web site called Weekend Sherpa that a friend sent to me before I moved out here with all sorts of places to go and see. Well, one of the places, Black Sand Beach, peaked my interest. I tried getting out to it a few months ago but drove right past it (on a very scary one way road hugging the coast). I ended up just heading back home after that. I finally made it out there the other day and took a bunch of pictures. It is a really cool little beach that is about a half a mile's hike down to. But it is so worth it. There is a little waterfall and off in the distance there is a lighthouse and caves in the rock face. The sand actually is black. Aside from the man fishing at one end of the beach, I was the only other person there. Here are pictures of my little adventure.
