Tennessee Beach

The Tennessee Valley Trail is a great way to experience nature and the beach simultaneously. The trail is approximately 1.75 miles long and is definitely worth the trek. Beach enthusiasts will appreciate the various types of beach sections and the surrounding rocks, including small and coarse sand and stones. It's a stunning spot to spend the day, and during low tide, you can explore the areas behind the massive rocks. There is also a pond nearby where you can see ducks and geese. Unfortunately, dogs are not allowed on this trail.
There are two ways to get to the beach: one involves climbing a hill, while the other is the Lower Spur trail, which is only open seasonally due to winter closures and high pond water. After walking a half-mile, you will reach a fork in the path. The left trail is flat, while the right-hand trail has a wooden fence and offers fantastic views. If you prefer not to climb, follow the Lower Spur trail, which is easy and flat. However, the final stretch of the trail is steep and rough, so be prepared to carry a stroller if you bring one. Vault toilets are available at the parking lot and near the beach.
The parking lot is partially open on weekends due to renovations and fills up quickly. You may need to park elsewhere and walk up to the trailhead, so factor that into your trail length. Additionally, there are trails that lead to Rodeo Beach, which is about a three-mile hike.

It's a stunning place to socialize. My family has owned the green house and the one adjacent to it for generations, which is where some of my great grandparents were born. The view towards San Francisco has been thoughtfully crafted to enhance the overall human experience.

This stunning beach is a paradise for dog owners and nature enthusiasts alike! With its serene ambiance, it's the perfect spot to unwind, take a leisurely stroll along the shore or marvel at the breathtaking sunset. The waves are typically calm and soothing, making it an ideal location to soak up some sun and enjoy the refreshing sea breeze. During the weekdays, the beach is relatively peaceful, but it can get crowded on weekends, especially during the early hours, so be mindful of traffic and limited parking. Additionally, restrooms are available on-site for your convenience.

This beach is a true gem that's worth a repeat visit. The stunning shoreline is a sight to behold, and there are even fire pits for those who want to cozy up by the flames. Just remember to bring your own firewood, as there isn't any available on site. The walk from the parking lot to the beach is a mere .2 miles, which is hardly a trek at all (unless you're a sloth). All in all, this beach is a must-see for anyone who loves natural beauty and a good fire.

This beach is renowned as the birthplace of the original burning man and offers a breathtaking view. Despite my admiration for this beach, the parking situation is quite limited. However, the real issue lies with the porta potties, which are not well-maintained and emit an unpleasant odor within 10 feet of them. It is imperative that they are cleaned on a daily basis to ensure a pleasant experience for all visitors.
Ocean Beach

I had my first encounter with the ocean and it was truly an exhilarating experience. The beach was pristine and the sand was noticeably cleaner than the usual beaches of Lake Tahoe that I am accustomed to. The scenic beauty of the beach was simply breathtaking. Moreover, the beach was conveniently located within walking distance of multiple bus stops which made commuting a breeze. I even managed to collect a rock and a sand dollar, the latter of which I had never seen before. Unfortunately, the bathrooms were closed and the wash stations were turned off, leaving me puzzled as to why. Despite this, my time at the beach was a fun and unforgettable experience.
