About an hour drive North from San Francisco is the surf spot of Stinson Beach, California, USA.  This is the epitome of Northern California surfing beauty.  Your non-surf companions will love it to as there is endless exploring on the beach, in the tide pools, and on the hiking trails that braid up and down the coastline here.
