Finally Visited This Northern California Coastal Gem!


Hi there!

A few weekends ago, I finally visited a coastal destination that has been on my bucket list for quite some time…Point Reyes!

While we ran into a bit of rain, it was a perfect, nature-filled long weekend. Some highlights included:

  • Taking the 313 steps down to the picture-perfect Point Reyes Lighthouse
  • Enjoying the view from the South Beach Overlook (one of the most iconic viewpoints in Point Reyes!)
  • Hiking the easy Chimney Rock Trail
  • Strolling through the Cypress Tree Tunnel
  • Seeing deer, tule elk, elephant seals, and other wildlife
  • Doing a mead tasting at Heidrun Meadery

If you’re thinking of visiting Point Reyes, I just published a guide on how to spend one day in Point Reyes. It includes the top spots in Point Reyes National Seashore, as well as some time spent exploring the towns of Point Reyes Station and Inverness. A jam-packed (but still chill) itinerary for a quick visit!

My guide also covers some helpful tips for your visit, as well as recommendations for additional things to do in the area. A great read if you’re planning a day trip or a longer getaway.

In addition to my Point Reyes guide, I’ve published a few new posts + updated some old ones:

Happy travels!

Happy New Year! I started the year off with a weekend getaway to the Santa Ynez Valley, a wine region that’s about a 45-minute drive from Santa Barbara. I’ve done quite a few day trips to the area, so it was nice to enjoy a more slow-paced visit. I stayed at a very cute, incredibly peaceful hotel just outside of Solvang. This property was once a motor lodge from the 1950s. It was purchased in 2019 by a company known for reviving historic hotel properties, and was renovated into a charming...

Hi there! A couple weeks ago, I took a weekend getaway to Palm Desert and Palm Springs. I stayed at a very beautifully designed and very pink boutique hotel in Palm Desert. This spot has been on my bucket list for years now, and thankfully, it lived up to my expectations! I’ve been to the area many times, so the weekend was spent enjoying some classic spots and activities that I love. This includes doing a drive-by mid-century modern architectural tour through the Indian Canyons neighborhood...

Hi there! When you think of California’s wine scene, Napa and Sonoma are probably the first spots to come to mind. Don’t get me wrong – I love them both. But today, I wanted to talk about two other wine-centric gems in the Golden State: Paso Robles and the Santa Ynez Valley. If you want to plan a winery weekend getaway, here’s my mini guides to each of these destinations.
