South Bay Accent - June/July 2017

June/July 2017 65 Three soothing seaside oases that let you leave your cares on the beach. By Kathy Chin Leong Turquoise waves pummel rocky cliffs while gulls crest the air. A toddler squeals as her mother chases her across the sand. Lying on a beach towel without a care in the world, you feel as though you are on a tropical isle, yet thankful you didn’t have to travel thousands of miles to relish such a bounty of sensory delights. You’re on the coast in the Bay Area on a three-day, three-town getaway less than an hour away from home. ¶ Why let out-of-towners have all the fun? This summer, steal away to Pacifica, Pescadero and Capitola to reboot and give in to temptations that can range from learning how to paddleboard to immersing yourself in a Japanese soaking tub. We promise an unforgettable, scenic driving stay-cation down Highway 1, studded with ample opportunities to pull over and photograph ocean islands, thrashing waves and rustic lighthouses. We have arranged this sojourn to lead from north to south, so that by the time your journey concludes, you’ll find yourself back where you began—right at home.
