We have been coming to China camp beach for many years. This day was special not our normal kayak day. As we pulled in the driveway to park we heard singing in Spanish and saw about 50 people standing on the beach. To our surprise it was a baptism right on the water. It was amazing to watch the few folks in all white getting dipped into the bay.
It was a beautiful warm relaxing day. The great part about going to China camp is its right in my backyard. You don't have to spend half the day driving to the coast to enjoy a nice day at the beach. It's a great place to bring your kids. Great hiking trails and to have birthday parties 🥳
We left our home in our city S.F. and headed North across the Golden Gate Bridge and within minutes we were in San Rafael on thru the East End for a couple of minutes more arriving at the China Camp Beach of which we had presicllay chosen to chase after the beautiful colors in the sky to capture on camera with our Samsung S23 Galaxy phones late Sunday night 🌙 it was a winning choice.!
I went hiking all the way up to China Camp beach. It was a wonderful hike with interesting vegetation. The beach area was also very nice and relaxing. A great easy-level hiking experience.
We had such a wonderful time here. Strongly recommend! Make sure you hike some trails. So many of them and they are easy, but gorgeous.
