Blog #1: Muir Beach

Muir beach is located just minutes north of the San Francisco area in California. It is
one of the many scenic pocket beaches located along the rugged pacific coast. The
beach is part of the expansive Golden Gate National Recreation Center and is just
outside of the famous Muir Woods. The beach allows pets and visitors on during
park hours. The beach allows, but warns against swimming because of the strong
and sudden undertows that frequently occur. The sediment at this beach comes
from the near by Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, down through the Sacramento
River and out on to the pacific shore, giving this beach a very rocky composition. I
found this beach through suggestion of a family member who has been there, and
described it as "some of the most astounding scenery she has ever seen".
