I went looking for cool bit of coastline a couple weekends ago. I tried going through Stinson Beach, but the place was a parking lot. I backtracked up and over Mt Tam and dropped back down to Highway 1 near the road out ot Bolinas. Since I had never been out there, I figured, what the heck. I ended up finding a place known as "Bolinas High Power." It turns out that there was a really cool Marconi radio station that was originally powered using Tesla coils. RCA later built a radio station that still exists and operates one day a year.
Here is the building that formerly housed the powerstation for the Marconi radio station.

I found a really cool beach there as well.

It was getting late, and I kinda wanted to head home since I didn't exactly know how to get home.

It was a pretty fantastic sunset.
