Drake's Bay
Generally believed to be the cove where Francis Drake beached the Golden Hind in June 1579 for much needed repairs before attempting to cross the Pacific. Although this site matches the general discription of what Drake named Portus Nova Albionis, no archaeological evidence has been found to verify this identity. Other candidate sites include Bolinas Bay and Bodega Bay.

Antique spanish and english daggers were found on this beach, as were 16th century silver and tin cups and other archaeological bits, though apparently the authorities were not aware of this local fact. | ||||
