Bolinas, California

Bolinas is a census-designated place located in Marin County, California in the San Francisco Bay Area. As of the 2000 census, the CDP had a total population of 1,246. Located along the coast and accessible only via unmarked roads, Bolinas is perhaps most well known for its reclusiveness; historically, any road signs pointing the way into town have inevitably been torn down by local residents.
