Approximately 200 nm northwest from San Jose is Shelter Cove, located along California's "lost coast." This remote area has a campground and bread and breakfasts located next to the runway.

Columbia
- Annual Father's Day Fly-in; campground; historic park
Half Moon Bay - Ocean views; walk to restaurants
Harris Ranch
- Steak lovers take note
Oceano
- Walk to the beach; campground, motels
Shelter Cove - Beautiful coast; B&B and campground
South Lake Tahoe - Ski Heavenly! Only 5 minutes away by taxi.
