Paddleboard Yoga at Sea Trek
Challenge yourself with paddleboard yoga — your mat is a stand up paddleboard, and Sausalito’s Richardson Bay is your studio. The sun, wind, water, birds and seals are all participants, and beginners are welcome. At the start of each class, you’ll learn the basics of paddleboarding and then float your way to a yoga class. Participants will be instructed through yoga poses, all the while experiencing the continuous challenge of balancing, the instability created by minor energy and weight shifts, and the focus required to ground while afloat.
Marin Headlands Camping
There are not many major cities where you can hike to the ocean’s edge and hear the sea lions, climb mountains for sweeping vistas, descend into flower-filled valleys and still get back in time to go to the city for dinner. Part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area (GGNRA), the Marin Headlands has four campgrounds that each offer a distinctive escape.
