Growing up, Mikes favorite pass time was visiting the beach. He often visited Stinson Beach. I also went to Stinson Beach growing up and enjoyed, sometimes I ended up going to Point Reyes, which I love. I don't visit the beach as much as I'd like, but growing up my family always went during the summer and it was a lot of fun.
