3b Beaches



Stinson vs Pebble beach




Ever since i can remember the beach has been my favorite form of recreation. Stinson is a place where I visted quite often when I was little and Pebble beach i always saw on TV when I watched golf. Each community ties into humanities since beach communities always tend to have a different culture.




What are some assumptions/stereotypes you think people have of each location:
Stinson beach is a popular destination for people who want to get away from the city life. It is not uncommon to see really nice cars parked along the beach, which gives the impression that this is a high-class beach.



Pebble beach is best known for it golf course. People assume that Pebble beach is just a golf course in a nice location, but there is an actual beach there.



List 3 things that make each location similar:
Each of the locations is an unincorporated beach. This means they are not owned by a single entity, but instead by the county it resides in.



Both beaches have a high concentration of granite rock in their sand.



Since Stinson is a beach you wouldn’t expect there to be any sidewalks, but at Pebble as much as you might expect there to be sidewalks with how big it is, there are none.



List 3 things that make each location so different: 1 point
While Stinson beach is best known as a get away, Pebble beach is more of a crowded beach. With the golf course and resort in the same location, the beach is always crowded



Stinson beach is just a typical beach, but Peble beach is most famous for its golf course.



Pebble beach is roughly 2.5 times the size of Stinson beach.



Questioning:
Since 1952 Stinson beach has had 13 shark attacks, I wonder what types of procedures are taken to avoid such attacks in the future.

Joseph (http://josephfitchsblog.blogspot.com/2008/06/week-2-project-2b_29.html) talked about General Vallejo’s home. I had never heard of this museum before, but it is in Sonoma.. It is a home that furnishes its original furnishing.
