Small grocery store with organic products. Stop at the Free Box out front! It's Bolinas's community thrift store where everything is FREE! If you happen to have something you don't need - please leave it.

The main (but very small!) grocery store in Bolinas. For veggies, I'd go to the farm stand or the people's store as the produce here is only mediocre. However, it's the only place in town to get meat. The fish is particularly good. Ask the butcher if anything was caught locally.

It's the only real supermarket in the area. The markets in Bolinas should have what you need, but if not you can check here.

Food Scene
Bolinas's classic restaurant. They sometimes have live music on the weekends.
Just down the street at 11 wharf road there's a new wine bar with great pizza called Eleven. For some reason I can't add it to the guidebook. Eleven is my favorite spot to eat in town! Call ahead for a table as they may have a wait. Only open Thurs-Sun.

Entertainment & Activities
Great spot for surfing lessons or to rent gear. If you've tried surfing before and didn't get the hang of it - I'd encourage you to try it again! I had totally given up on surfing until I found the mellow waves of Bolinas. The waves are usually tiny and a ton of fun. Grab a huge long board and have a blast!

Parks & Nature
A trailhead to spectacular hiking along the coast. A mellow hike that is mostly rolling hills. I'd recommend hiking out to Bass Lake for a dip (5 miles round trip) or Alamere Falls (about 7.5 miles round trip). Warning - it gets really crowded on the weekends and the parking fills up, so go early! If you're around mid week, definitely check it out for a serene hike!

A beautiful hike is only made better by a cool lake for a dip! The water is cold, so go while it's sunny. Feel free to take floaties or noodles that are on the back deck :) Read more: http://www.marinij.com/article/ZZ/20120709/news/120708950

A much bigger, more lively beach than Bolinas. But I honestly see no reason to wander over there and always stay in town.

The closest beach to the house - only about a 10 min walk. The main beach in town is calmer and better for lounging, but this is your spot for sunsets! Also, come at low tide to check out the tidepools.
