Do you see the leaves turning red and brown and falling off the branches? Yes, because it’s autumn already, the best season to be singing songs sitting down under a tree whose leaves occasionally come off. If you think that is too cliché, why not try the next best thing to do when you are surrounded by autumn leaves- go to some of the best coasts for a holiday. It is also the autumn where you need to be present there with the autumn leaves. Trust us that you won’t have an iota of regret when you come across the beach sand this autumn falls. So, we will take to you through some destinations across the shoreline of the country because whether you are closer to the east coast or the west coast, you can visit according to your convenience. So, here are the top destinations to visit this autumn falls.

The Sea Ranch is itself a destination and proudly boasts as one of the best destinations to be covered when autumn leaves fall. The ranch is private property along the pacific coast and is about 160 km from San Francisco. This beautiful property is a privately owned 16 km property, and so you folks from the west could easily drive by and enjoy this place. Even if you are nowhere near this place, it is worth a visit. The place is celebrated for the balanced approach toward the ecology when the land planning was in place. It holds its beauty till date since its construction in the 1960s. There are several vacation homes which you can rent. You also have the option to book the Sea Ranch Lodge this autumn when the autumn leaves appear. If you are up for a golf day out, you could do the same at The Sea Ranch Golf, and shoot your golf balls for the nearest hole. If you are done with the day, you could have a nice dine and wine experience at the Black Point Grill. If you think that is what you could do during this autumn falls, you are mistaken. You need a few more days to visit the other places that the destination has to offer.

If history or architecture fascinates you, you should go to Fort Ross, which is a National Historic Monument built by the Russian fur traders back in 1812. The place has evidence of Russian influence on the architecture of the buildings, including the windmill used to power the whole place. The wooden stockade can offer some of the exceptional views as this stockade is located on the edge of a coastal bluff. If you are there, don’t forget to take a look at the orchids with fruits still present from the Russian Era. If you want to learn more about the history, do have a look at the Visitor Center and Museum. This place can also help you get some hiking if you feel like doing so. Also, you could always enjoy the beach and tidal pools. There are frequent festivals which take place in the fort, so time your visit according to the calendar for some extra Russian experience in this American countryside.

The place also has an unconventional chapel that could fascinate you because of its architectural uniqueness. The winged roof, which may look like a hat blown by the wind, is stunning to watch, and you could relate to the Harry potter maybe (that is what I felt). The stones used in building the chapel would remind of Hagrid’s crib in the movie. If you go inside, you could find several mosaics, art pieces, chandelier, and stainless-steel fittings, adding charm to the chapel as a whole. The place is open to visit all around the year from 8 a.m. till sunset.

Next up, you could visit one of the six public access places on the Sea Ranch. Since the Sea Ranch is private property, you can’t be mingling anywhere. But don’t worry, you have unlimited access to these six places. I would recommend you take a walk there during dusk or dawn, given the amazing views you could witness during this autumn falls and watch the leaves lift its already majestic beauty to the next level. You could indulge yourself in any of the activities like bird watching or going for a picnic with your family. Tide pooling is also popular here, and you could have a taste of that during your visit this autumn.

Another way to spend time here is to go and visit Benjamino Bufano's creation, the 'Peace Obelisk' located at the Timber Cove Resort. The 93-foot sculpture dominates the cliff where it is located, and the look of the same will take you back to the war days. Remember that you have to be a guest of Timber Cove Resort to be able to have a look at the monument.
