Tucked away on California’s legendary Lost Coast, Sinkyone Wilderness State Park is what happens when Mother Nature decides to show off without inviting the crowds.

Lake Vesuvius, a 143-acre reservoir, provides a perfect setting for kayaking and canoeing adventures, allowing you to glide across water so still it feels like you’re paddling through the sky.

It may not be your typical day at the beach, but a visit to this small stretch of shore in Northern California offers you a unique outdoor experience.

This scenic California region offers the perfect blend of outdoor adventure and sophistication with fully-kitted glamping sites and local wineries.
