California is the left coast, the westcoast, the golden state, primarily known for the land forms & natural beauty next to the Pacific ocean. California beaches & bayside resorts are plentiful. Remote north coast hiking trails, beach villages, lagoons, rivers, & redwoods towering above, are only some of the places to enjoy. Ocean front cottages, small marinas, & coastal wineries are often nearby to the metropolitan areas, which also line the shores.
