Marina State Beach - a Great Place to Walk (California)

Marina State Beach, California

Marina State Beach, CA

This is one of my favorite beach walks. You can walk on and on forever, or so it seems. Once you are a few blocks from the parking lot you have the beach mostly to yourself - except for the flocks of birds. Dress warmly, in layers as this is a windy beach much of the time.

If you want an easier walk, you can stroll along the boardwalk. This is not a beach for swimming as it has strong rip currents and is very hazardous. The beach is at the foot of Reservation Rd. in Marina, Ca. The parking lot closes a half hour after sunset.

While this is not one of the more dramatic of the Lighthouses, the incredible setting more than makes up for it!

KRML Jazz & Blues Radio in Downtown Carmel, CA

Jazz & Blues Radio - in downtown Carmel, California
KRML Radio Jazz & blues
KRML has been in operation since 1957 and broadcasts jazz & blues 24 hours a day.

This is the same radio station that was featured in the Clint Eastwood move "Play Misty for Me." Clint, the star of the movie was a disc jokey and this was his station.
The station is located in the Eastwood building. Several years ago the station was at another location in Carmel and lost their lease. Commercial space is very expensive in Carmel and the station owners were resigned to moving out of Carmel. Clint heard about it and told his building manager to keep the station in Carmel and to make a deal so they could locate in his building!

KRML Radio Jazz & BluesThe Station broadcasts online and has listeners all over the world.

They also give wonderful small venue concerts in their Carmel Station and store.

Do you have a jazz enthusiast on your shopping list? Visit the down town or online store.
