The Stinson Beach Village Association was established in 1976. Its purpose is stated in its revised by-laws:
To pursue the implementation of the Stinson Beach Community Plan , the Local Coastal Program, and Marin County Zoning, and to provide information about, and an open forum on, all issues affecting the community.
To act as a liaison for the Village with County, State, and Federal agencies or any other organization affecting the Village.
This website has been created to further that purpose by increasing the availability of information necessary for its achievement, and facilitating local dialogue and consensus on the issues raised in its pursuit.
