Favorite Destinations Outside the Gate

You’d have to look long and hard to find a more dramatic backdrop for sailing than San Francisco’s Central Bay — not to mention its consistently strong winds. But there are times when you might want to venture outside the Golden Gate for a change of pace.

That thought has inspired us to put together a feature article for our September issue that spotlights a variety of near-the-Bay destinations that are ideal for summer and fall getaways. Places such as Half Moon Bay, Tomales Bay, Drakes Bay and Bodega Bay come to mind.

If you have specific tips or local knowledge about any of those — or have your own additional suggestions — we’d love to hear your impressions, and have a look at some of your favorite photos. Please email us here.
