Shelter Cove

Shelter cove is a quaint little town on the California coast. The drive to it from 101 is extremely curvy and off the beaten path. This makes it a quiet place with great little ocean front hotels and some awesome outdoor activities. Bring a cooler with some food with you! This town has a general store and a couple dinners. None of the dining facilities were open while we were there.
