NorCal Beach

By Lloyd Kahn on May 27, 2012

On the coast last week, I stopped at the Chart House in Montara to have a look. It appears closed. I’d never seen the beach just below it.

  2. Chart House was replaced a year or two again by a pretty interesting Peruvian restaurant with a great bar and tapas. is that place closed now too?
    The beach below is an awesome hang on a sunny day, but watch for the vicious rip if you bring your kids.
