Activities to experience in Point Reyes, California, near Tomales Bay and the Point Reyes National Seashore

Come and explore the spectacular trails and beaches throughout the Point Reyes National Seashore. Get away from it all, and enjoy Mother Nature at her finest. Awaiting you, only an hour’s drive north of the Golden Gate Bridge, are beaches, tide pools, lagoons, bird sanctuaries, rolling hills, abundant wildlife and densely wooded forests.

Cash in your "sick days", play hooky -- do whatever you must, to get yourselves into the magic world of the Point Reyes National Seashore.
Life is too short, not to play more.

Wildlife such as this owl abounds at the black Heron Inn
