Not a Pool: Tomales Bay

Now here’s something to be thankful for: sunny sky and calm water in the mid-50s at this beautiful, top-secret Tomales Bay location. Some locals clued me in to this place the day before Thanksgiving, and I returned with my family on Thanksgiving for a morning dip.

Tomales Bay spans the San Andreas Fault, so if someday I have the chance to swim across the bay, I’d be swimming from the Pacific continental plate to the North American one. How cool would that be?!
