While we were at Muir Woods for our birthdays, we decided to stop by Muir Beach. It happened to be only 5 minutes away, and we were told about the beautiful overlook.
The overlook was gorgeous. It is off the shore a bit, so you really have an amazing view from it. When we got there the light was beautiful, and it was about the time when the fog comes in, so everything was slowly being covered by white.
Even though it was technically still the summer, it was freezing there. When I moved to California I thought that it was warm and sunny all over the state. Silly me. The Bay Area is only warm for a couple of days a year, and it is never warm enough for a swim.
I braved up and felt the water a bit, and it was FREEZING! At first it hurt a lot, but once my feet lost sensitivity it became fun. Even though the water is too cold to be swimmable, the west coast beaches do have one thing that I love... SUNSETS! I could never wake up early enough to see the sunrise when going to beaches on the east, but the sunset here has been hard to miss! I love it!
