Pelican Inn

Amy · Answer

The Marshall Store: The most delicious and fresh oysters, fish tacos, and also smoked meat right on Tomales Bay. Do not forget to order the garlic bread. 😋

Isabella · Answer

Lassen Volcanic National Park: I see you’re already going there but I have to recommend the Lassen Peak Trail. It’s a 5ish miles out and back. Start early to beat the sun but still bring a sun hat. A must do if you’re visiting the park.

Moonstone Beach: Such a beautiful spot! Recommend on your way north from Eureka (which is a great town to spend some time and check out the locally owned shops in).

Clara · Answer

Psychic Pie in Sebastopol, CA: Just great slab pizza in Sonoma.

Clara · Answer

Green Gulch Zen Center & Farm: This is one of my favorite places in the Bay Area. So beautiful to walk around, and extremely welcoming. If you go Sunday morning early enough you could attend the sitting meditation and dharma talk, which is an interesting experience and open to all, or just check out the bookstore when it’s open from around 11-noon. You can walk around the farm and gardens and all the way down to Muir Beach, which is a lovely doable distance.

Also if you continue driving up the coast a little further, Bolinas is an awesome stop to check out - there’s an excellent honor-system farmstand as well as great local restaurant and a place I love to stay.
