I’d give Gamboa Beach 6 stars if I could. Gamboa is the prettiest little beach I have ever been to equipped with its own waterfall and palm trees. I was there for the 4th Annual Beach Party and let me tell you I’ve been to my fair share of beaches and hundreds of parties but this topped them all. Not many people know of this hidden gem since it is private property. And even though we went through 32 handles and 3 kegs, I would have to say this past weekend was the most relaxing, therapeutic and peaceful beach experience ever. With the waves crashing on the shoreline along with the lightning storm, it was also a very humbling experience. I ended up staying another night even though the Big Sur fire was right around the corner. So close that when I arrived at my car it was engulfed in ash. Since Hwy. 1 was still closed we had to drive 2 extra hours south just to get home north and it was so worth it. Some people drove up from San Diego and LA while others flew in from Washington and Denver. They knew what was up. I’d hate to sound like a cheese-ball but I actually felt one with nature at Gamboa even though I rocked my faux French tip gel nails, spent most of my time squeezing fresh citrus for a superb cocktail, ate gourmet hamburgers, steak tacos and T bone steaks, danced the night away(or watched people) with the DJ playing the illest tunes and the kicker for me was a slide of an uncovered horse drawn wagon which was projected onto the sand and on the side on the mountain. I look forward to the 5th Annual Beach Party which will most likely include a 24 hour on-call masseuse and goodie bags.
