Right on Tomales Bay, Shell Beach is one of those secluded spots of quiet you don't want to yelp about, but because I love and care about you so much, here I am telling you about it.

Talk about a local spot -- the place makes Point Reyes seem like a thriving metropolis -- you can almost miss the road signs leading to it (the sign for Camino del Mar is in fact obstructed from one direction). But once you find the place and park, a short walking trail leads you into a very secluded stretch of beach, overlooking a gorgeous view of the water.

Bring a picnic, swim, explore a bit, but mostly just relax. Repeat as necessary.

Went on Sunday, 5/17.

It was 100 degrees in the east bay, and I come here and find 70 degrees with a strong breeze. This is not the kind of beach you go to to enjoy warm weather...

It's a family oriented beach, and very secluded with bad parking. The hike down is a third of a mile, and while pleasant, not worth it when you get to the actual beach... Very small, full of seaweed.

Not my scene. I suppose I should have gone to Baker beach!
