This image was taken from Ridgecrest Boulevard, looking west toward Stinson Beach. My model walked with me near the road and then continued west along the path of the hill.
Coming from the northern entrance of Mount Tamalpais, drive south along Ridgecrest Boulevard. While you're driving, be sure to keep a lookout on the left for a "no parking" gate next to the Mount Tamalpais Watershed sign.
Park your car in the available pullout. From there, hike about 500 feet south until you see a hill that aligns with Stinson Beach in the distance. For the exact location of where I stood, refer to the GPS coordinates.
