bay area journey Nick’s Cove 56 www. n A PAVA L L E Y L I F Emagaz ine .com I must admit having been told more than once to take a long walk on a short pier. Finally, I was more than happy to honor that request but for reasons other than what may have been intended. In reality, that long walk was akin to a euphoric stroll in the company of my companion along a 400-foot wooden-planked promenade at Nick’s Cove Restaurant, Oyster Bar & Cottages to reach the pier-end boat shack, complete with a wood-burning stove. There the perfectly timed diminishing golden glow was only enhanced by the aphrodisiac powers of oysters and a bottle of vino. At that point, there was no need to take a step any further. Framed in between Tomales Bay and rolling hillsides along the twisty Highway One running through Marshall, the only town where the population of 50 (according to the road sign) minus the 15-foot elevation equals the 35-mile speed limit, Nick’s Cove provides the perfect opportunity to come to a complete stop. Especially at the “OYSTER XING” sign.
