Mysterious Explosion Damages Stinson Beach’s Oldest Restaurant - Eater SF
"Since 1921, the Sand Dollar has served diners in downtown Stinson Beach, drawing Marin County residents and visitors with Tomales Bay oysters, Dungeness crab cioppino, and an expansive patio that — especially on warm days — is packed from opening to last call. It's unclear how bad the damage was to the Sand Dollar, which in 2000 was purchased by the brother-and-brother team of Sam and August Temer. Its building was built on three barges that sailed up to Stinson Beach, then “made their way up Highway 1 where they were fused together to form the Sand Dollar,” former SF Chronicle food critic Michael Bauer wrote in 2014, saying then that “on a recent visit I had some of the best oysters I remember, briny and sweet Marin Miyaga that were fresh and cold; each bite seemed to capture the essence of the area.”" - Eve Batey
