To tell ya the truth, I wasn't sure till today if I should be pronouncing it "Ro-day-o" as in the drive in LA or "Ro-dee-o" as in the red-neck past time. I now know that it is pronounced the latter way for this beach. Why? Because while it was very calm in all the other spots that I passed, Rodeo Beach had rather large waves and a gaggle of surfers.
Which was all and good since one of the reasons why I took this route was to get back into practice getting in and out of the water when there are waves to consider. Getting in was difficult enough. It took me about 10 minutes to time it right and get out while the waves were manageable. Getting out was also reasonably successful with me (intentionally) falling out in water I could stand in.
The trip itself was quite striking. Much of the coast in this area is lined with tall red rock cliffs. A few of my photos have hikers in them to give their size some perspective.
It took about 50 minutes to cover the 3+ miles each way to Muir Beach.
