Venus setting over Martins Beach, a picturesque pocket beach just south of Half Moon Bay. When you visit Martins Beach you will immediately discover its beauty. High bluffs are visible at both ends of the cove. Walk to the north past the outflow of Lobitos Creek to see the tall sharkfin-shaped rock up close. It has a rock arch in the bottom that is only visible from up north.
The Marin Headlands is a hilly peninsula at the southernmost end of Marin County, California, United States, located just north of San Francisco across the Golden Gate Bridge, which connects the two counties and peninsulas. The Marin Headlands were home to the Native American Coastal Miwok tribe, who moved between the bay side of the peninsula and the ocean side seasonally, for thousands of years. The entire area is part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The Headlands are famous for their views of the Bay Area, especially of the Golden Gate Bridge. In the waters surrounding the Headlands, harbor seals can be found year-round, gray whales can be seen in the spring and fall, and seabirds such as common murres and surf scoters swim within sight of shore.
It is amazing what a puddle of rainwater can reflect. Connected to San Francisco by the Golden Gate Bridge, Fort Baker is one of the components of California's Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The Fort, which borders the City of Sausalito in Marin County, is served as an Army post until the mid-1990s, when the headquarters of the 91st Division moved to Parks Reserve Forces Training Area. It is located opposite Fort Point at the entrance to the San Francisco Bay.
