Under $20 Roadtrip: West Marin
The following are the places we suggest you stop on a road-trip through West Marin. This is a great drive, with endless routes and possibilities, everything from small towns, stunning countryside and beach walks. A great starting point is in Muir Beach, and continuing north through Stinson Beach, Olema, Pt. Reyes Station, Inverness, Marshall and finally, western Petaluma (okay, that's technically in Western Sonoma County, not Marin!). And the great thing about this drive, you don't have to plan much…just drive and explore!
