Stinson Beach, CaliforniaStinson Beach is a census-designated place located in Marin County, California. As of the 2000 census, the CDP had a total population of 751. Stinson Beach is the first inhabited point on the Pacific coast of Marin County that is reached when travelling north on California's Highway 1 from the Golden Gate Bridge out of San Francisco. It is the nearest coastal town to important attractions such as Muir Woods National Monument, Muir Beach, and Mount Tamalpais. It has a long beach with good opportunities for surfing. It is not surprising, therefore, that Stinson Beach is a very popular resort for people from the San Francisco Bay Area and for tourists visiting northern California. Although most visitors arrive by private car, Stinson Beach is linked to Marin City by a regular bus service, and the network of hiking trails around Mount Tamalpais also reaches the town. Every summer, the town hosts an annual outdoor Shakespeare festival on the beach (see http://www.shakespeareatstinson.org).
