West Marin is filled with so many things to do, it would be hard to list them all.  Don’t get us wrong, we are happy to spend all our days on the beach relaxing.  But if you are so inclined, here are some suggestions:

• Grab a ball and shoot some hoops at the park in the middle of town.  Little ones will enjoy the play structure and hopscotch

• Rent kayaks or surfboards at Stinson Surf and Kayak

• Hike one of the countless trails in the Mount Tampalpais area – Dipsea Trail is the easiest to access and is great start.  www.mttam.net

• Rent horses at Five Brooks Stable in Olema  www.fivebrooks.com

• Visit Audubon Canyon Ranch and learn about the unique environment of the Bolinas Lagoon Preserve www.egret.org

• For art lovers – visit the Claudia Chapline Gallery in Stinson Beach www.cchapline.com, Coastal Artisans in Bolinas, or any of the many galleries in Pt Reyes Station or Inverness.
