Dillon-Beach is off the beaten track along Coast Highway 1 in northern California. This small fishing village is located in Marin county approximately 65 miles north of San Francisco. Windswept beaches, grassy sand dunes and rocky cliffs make up this part of the state known as "The Wild Coast." The countryside surrounding Dillon Beach is filled with peaceful dairy farms adding to the pastoral beauty of the land. Dillon Beach is a place to unwind and let the fresh sea air work its special magic on you. Beautiful bed and breakfasts and rental properties are available in the area, where you can curl up with a good book beside a fireplace, or collect your thoughts as you gaze out upon the sea. Walk the miles of beaches exploring tide pools, fly a kite or build a sandcastle! Go whale watching or tour a nearby winery. Visit the neighboring quaint villages of Bodega Bay, Jenner-by-the Sea or Tomales Bay for shopping and dining. Dillon Beach is just a short drive to such attractions as Muir Woods, Point Reyes National Seashore and the famous Golden Gate Bridge. But chances are, once you visit Dillon Beach, you will not want to venture far away. Leave your cares behind and soak up the peace and solitude in Dillon Beach, California!

Dillon Beach Weather & Climate

The Northern California coast region, including the Russian River area, has a climate of mild days and cool nights - even in summertime. Right along the coast, low clouds and fog that usually burns off by early afternoon, is common. The further inland you go away from the ocean, the sunnier it is. There is little or no rain May through September. The rainy season begins in late October or November, with January and February being the wettest months. Flooding is a problem in winter when rains are heavy within a short period of time, mostly due to the many creeks and rivers in the area. Strong winds are usually present right along the coastline, but lessen as you travel inland. Fall is generally the sunniest season along the northern California coast.
