Lucy, on the beach at MacKerricher, at sunset, at the moment when I first felt her growing away from me. Near the coast, California 12 intersects with California Highway 1, the California coastal highway. Take California 1 north to Salt Point and beyond. Plan for 2 hours from San Francisco to Bodega Bay and an additional 2 hours along the winding, scenic California 1 to reach Salt Point. California state parks with campsites dot this stretch of coastline.
Private campsites are also available in many areas.
