Back to nature
experiences are within reach and allow guests to enjoy the scenic beauty
of the coast at California's state parks. Your timing couldn't be better
as price cuts for 146 parks, beaches, museums, camping and boating
facilities began in July 2000. From Hearst
Castle $4 per person reduction, to free boat launching, you can now
afford to visit more than one park in a day and even have money to stay
overnight.

Beach volleyball is
a unique sport played in the sand with audiences close at hand. 10
years ago you would be hard pressed to find permanent nets on the beach
but polls and nets are a fixture now. The Association of Volleyball Professionals
and Beach Volleyball America are the heavyweights
for sand competition. Public sand play is free at most beaches with balls
available for rent at some concessions. |
