Everyone knows California is beautiful & an amazing place to live or vacation but do you know about these top five secret destinations in California?
Glass Beach at Fort Bragg :- Fort Bragg’s glass beach was formed after years of dumping old bottles, windowpanes & even automobiles into the ocean. Believe it or not, it was legal to dump your junk here until 1967. In the years since, the multi-colored glass has slowly been crushed and worn down by the waves, forming a shimmering, rainbow-esque shoreline.
Hidden Staircases at Franceschi Park :- Hidden Staircases lead through the lower half of Franceschi Park. There are a number of terraced paths through this part of the park, but by generally taking the steeper of any two routes you’ll find your way up to Mission Ridge Road.
Sea Cave at Avila Beach :- The sea cave at Avila Beach in San Luis Obispo are a picturesque destination even many locals are unaware of. A short hiking trail off the main paved road will lead you to the cave, which affords a sweeping view of the Pacific Ocean. Visitors can hike, fish or climb down the platform cut into the cliffside by the waves. Ambitious travelers may even climb on top of the cave, which will give you an unparalleled 360 degree view of the area. The best part? Because the area isn’t maintained by any one organization, access is completely free–at least for now!
College Cove at Trinidad State Beach :- The northernmost section of Humboldt County’s Trinidad State Beach is a sandy stretch of arching shoreline known as College Cove. Popular among locals, the cove is mostly sheltered from the wind and great for swimming under mild conditions.
Badwater in Death Valley:- Known as “hell on Earth,” Death Valley is both the hottest and the lowest geographic spot in North America. Badwater is located on the south end of the park; it is in the direction you would come if you came up from the town of Baker. With only one main road that goes through the park from that direction, it is pretty hard to miss. Some signs direct you to it from Furnace Creek if you go that way as well. This area is very popular so be sure to note that if you go on a busy weekend.
