Bolinas Lagoon
Encyclopedia : B : BO : BOL : Bolinas Lagoon
Bolinas Lagoon is a tidal estuary, approximately 3 square miles (8 square km) in area, in Marin County in California in the United States. The lagoon is a back bay of Bolinas Bay on the Pacific coast approximately 15 mi (25 km) northwest of San Francisco. It is fed by several small streams and separated from the main bay by a small spit of land, known as Stinson Beach. The sand bar that encloses this lagoon is full of beachgoers and surfers on hot days, seeking to escape both heat and the urban Bay Area.
The lagoon is considered to be among the possible landing spots of Francis Drake on the coast of North America in 1579.
