There are two ways of getting to the Point Bonita area; along the steep drop-offs along Conzelmen road with fine views of the Golden Gate Bridge, or through the old narrow tunnel originally built by the military during World War 2 for easier access to the defensive gun emplacements and the base of operations, Fort Cronkhite.

Normally I would just head out to the easier access of Rodeo Beach and its environs, but on Tuesday I was inspired to visit Black Sands Beach.

When sunny this is a popular nude beach, but since the weather was overcast and unsettled I was the only person there. And no, LOL and Lord almighty, most certainly I kept MY clothes on! It's quite a steep and long walk down to the beach--climbing back up is quite an effort for an old guy.

This gull was making a meal of the seeds in a pine cone that had drifted ashore. I believe those little birds are Sandpipers who were deftly searching for food at the edge of the foam.

Nice shot there of Black Sands Beach. I gotta say, I learn a lot about Marin from reading your blog. Thanks!

Thanks JAN BELL :)
I think our local Visitors and Convention Bureau should put me on their payroll.
