Fire Destroys Historic Boat Shack at Nick’s Cove in Tomales Bay | Eater SF

"A fire destroyed the boat shack at the end of Nick’s Cove’s pier on the evening of January 7; Marin County Fire Department officials said the structure fire was reported just before 5 p.m., no one was inside, and it was contained by 5:30 p.m. I learned the boat shack was considered an iconic and beloved feature of the property, which opened in the early 1930s and was recently revamped by the team behind Palm House Hospitality. Despite the damage, owner Benson Wang said the business will remain operational — the cottages, the garden, and the restaurant are open — the restaurant is known for serving briny and sweet oysters, and the cause of the fire is still under investigation." - Paolo Bicchieri
