Marina, California - State Beach - Heaven for Flying!

Marina, California - State Beach

Marina Beach, CA - parasailing

Who says man was not meant to fly!If you want to go fly a kite, hang glide, parasail - this is the place. You do need to have taken instructions and be certified to fly on this beach. It's also wonderful to watch the flights. This is definitely not a swimming beach because of strong, dangerous riptids though.


Marina State Beach -Hang GlidingSunsets at Marina State Beach can be incredible. This is a basically "undiscovered " beach. No big crowds here most of the time. You can walk for miles with only the birds for company.

Wow, that is breathtaking! I'd love to try that someday! Have you done it?

Eileen,  I'll leave that "flying" to others - I'll be happy ot watch the surf and sunset.  BTW, my maps are really looking better on my posts,  Karen

Hi Alisha;  No I have not done it yet. You have to take lessons and the closest place for lessons is San Francisco area about 2 hours or so away.


So Karen I'm just sitting on the beach too!  But taking photos. :)

Thanks for sharing.

Hi Margaret, thanks for the compliment as I love doing it. I am now working on a "Birds & Animals of the Monterey Peninsula" series.
