Miwok Beach

During one of our trips to California last year, we wanted to stop by Spud Point Crab Company in Bodega Bay to try some of their famous clam chowder and crab sandwiches.

Well ... my iPad GPS got it all wrong and instead of turning on the correct street, we continued on California 1 until we reached a long stretch of sandy beach -- Miwok Beach. It was a good place to turn around and start over.

It was indeed serendipity, for I discovered the beautiful beach by accident. I couldn't get to the beach itself because it was a ways down the cliff, but I was able to take quite a few pictures.

Here's my favorite one:

It's a panoramic shot and if you click on it, you should get a much larger picture.

Sometimes it pays to get lost, no?
