This is the beach I remember as a child and young teenager! We loved this beach and came every year for many years! The pictures of it bring back some great memories!
I am a 60 year old woman. When I was between the ages of 5-10, my parents took me to Refugio, weekend after weekend. It is still my favorite beach in California. It is so pristine!
