Local California Weekend Getaways

Northern California is an awesome place to be, especially during the summer. If you want to take a trip down to the coast for a local weekend getaway it is only a couple hour drive to the most beautiful spots you can imagine. Point Reyes is one of the most fascinating wild life excursions with views that are absolutely breath taking. You can camp on the beach of the great Pacific Ocean and hike up to Point Reyes where you will over look the magnificent beauty of God’s creation.

If you are not into going to the coast and would rather swim deep in the heart of a large body of water without the fear of being eaten by a shark, then I suggest Sugar Pine. It is nestled quite secretly in the woodsy area of Foresthill. Surrounded by tall trees, the sparking clear blue water is definitely inviting. You can camp on the beach while you stay at this secluded nature paradise on this local weekend getaway.

If camping in the wilderness isn’t your thing, then I suggest a hotel in the Rocklin/Roseville area to enjoy an exciting local weekend getaway at Golfland Sunsplash Water Park. With many slides and water attractions to choose from you will definitely stay cool in the summer heat. In between sunbathing and riding on the water roller coasters you can enjoy a few games of miniature golf. This is definitely a crowd pleaser.

If you are in the mood to press your luck Northern California also has the finest in Indian casinos. Deciding between Cache Creek or Thunder Valley is your only dilemma. Both offer resort like settings, liberal slots, and a variety of card gaming. It is quite easy to spend the whole day at these casinos. With an assortment of foods to choose from you can never grow tired of the vast array of restaurants. And who knows, maybe it will become your luckiest local weekend getaway.

Six Flags Marine World is also a great place to be during the scorching summer temps. From rides to games along with your favorite Looney Tune characters this amusement park has got to be the finest around. The animals that are on hand are spectacular and you’ll never see the same things twice when spending the whole weekend. There is always something new behind every corner.

* These are just a few of the summer local weekend getaways in Northern California.
