The Sea Ranch contains 10 miles of shore which is reserved for private use but has public access points along Hwy 1. It is noted for its distinctive architecture, which consists of simple timber-frame structures clad in wooden siding or shingles. The specific design requirements include various guidelines so that the buildings become part of the landscape. Details such as exteriors of unpainted wood or muted stains, a lack of overhanging eaves, and baffles on exterior lighting subdue the appearance of the buildings in the landscape. Lighting is also baffled to minimize nighttime "light pollution"; there are no street lights, and the night sky is dazzling. The lack of roof overhangs is also intended to allow the near-constant strong breezes to pass over the buildings without the turbulence the overhangs would create.
There is a small parking fee if you wish to access the public trail to the beach which is well worth it. It's one of my favorite beaches along the Sea Ranch coast line.
Happy caching!
Congrats to The Lane Family for their second FTF!
