Nick's Cove
Marshall, California
Escape the hustle and bustle of the Bay Area at Nick's Cove. Just up the coast on the PCH, this quiet retreat consists of 12 small cottages — five waterfront, seven water view — set on Tomales Bay. It's a perfect spot to park your car and forget about it, thanks to the tranquil atmosphere and on-site Nick's Cove Restaurant and Oyster Bar, which is famous for its BBQ'd oysters and offers an after hours bar in the lighted boat shack at the end of the pier. Should you decide to get away for a day, you're just a short drive from Bodega Bay, where Hitchcock filmed his classic The Birds.
