So I am going to San Jose [then Yosemite] and probably wont have time/opportunity to fly then I am looking around (never say never) and I notice Marina Beach (near Monterey, an hour south). So I was looking for a place to stay near the beach and wondering if I could figure out where the hang gliders launch from.
