Just a little local (from your perspective) joke. Sonoma County, along 
with much of the Calif. coast, has Great Whites in sufficient numbers to 
chomp the occasional human in the local waters.*

It also has large stretches of bucolic beauty and lots of artists, like 
SSI, but also a mini-megalopolis with attendant awful traffic in the 
Eastern part and a spectacular, rugged coastline with LOTs of public 
access on the Western edge. But few Orcas apparent. Good whale watching 
in seasons.

* "They" are always saying that the sharks have "mistaken" people for 
their favorite meals, seals and sea lions. What a load of bollocks! We 
are mammals just the size they like paddling around in the water. They 
are supposed to know we are different and should be eschewed, reather 
than chewed, because of our special nature?

Actually, I suspect we taste bad. Even in the cases where people are 
killed, the sharks usually eat little. An evolutionary survival trait?
