Nick's Cove II

First stop on our California trip was Nick's Cove.  It was on California State Highway 1, which follows the coastline the entire length of the state.  Across the bay we were on was Point Reyes, one of the best birding spots in the world.  The bay also lies directly on the San Andreas fault, during the San Francisco earthquake of the early 1900's Point Reyes moved 12 feet of so farther north.

Nick's Cove is a wonderful spot, which we all enjoyed greatly; thanks to Heather and Frank for the discovery.  We ate in their restaurant all 3 nights, food was outstanding.

Here's some pics...




The restaurant and cabins sit on pilings over the water.  The restaurant is on the far left; our cabin, Big Rock, is on the far right.

 



A view from our cabin deck.  A pier runs out from the restaurant.  The small hut at the end of the pier had seating, a wood burning stove, and a phone with a direct line to the bar for "deliveries".

 

Our cabin had a perfect spot for bridge with windows on two sides looking out over the water.



Macy and I slept here.

Off our deck was Big Rock occaionally occupied by some local residents.

Next to Nick's Cove was a small park and boat ramp.  On the Friday of our stay a paddle board race was held.
