Yeah, I'm a fan of the Marin beaches (Stinson, Muir) when nobody else much is there, Point Reyes, Ocean Beach in the city.....but Mozambique reminded me of the National Seashore beach at Nauset on Cape Cod. There were big, dramatic clouds the day we went, and beach to the horizon.

If you have a Bay Area connection, have you seen the film Woman On Top, about a woman from Salvador, Bahia who comes to S.F.?

The actor who plays the husband is a Brazilian soap opera star, and the two guys in his restaurant are two of the most famous actors in Brazil, both from Salvador, in a bit part speaking English.
