Looking for advice on shore/surf fishing north of sanfran

[d-mack]

I'll be spending a week (July 22 thru July 28) vacationing on the northern california coastal areas. I am intentionally not making any set plans because I want to just explore and take in the splendor of that area. Do any of you have any particular advice on fishing and crabbing at any particular point along this area. I'll be renting a car in San Francisco and heading north along highway 1. I can spend some money for charters or guides.

Any help is appreciated.
