If you want to go to the beach, this is less than a half-hour drive away. Cyclists are common on this route --straight out Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, up over White's Hill, and straight on to the ocean. Or Bus 68 from Fairfax will get you there in 46 minutes. The Visitor Center is great, and lots of beaches to choose from. Our favorite is Limantour.
