Point Reyes Geography

Point Reyes

Point Reyes National Seashore  is a United States National Seashore that is one of the Bay Area's overlooked treasures. Located at the westernmost tip of Marin County, it is a reasonable day trip from San Francisco, but also worth visiting as a destination on its own.

Landscape

Point Reyes lies at the tip of a narrow peninsular which sticks out some 15 miles into the Pacific Ocean. The point itself is significantly higher than the peninsular connecting it to the the mainland and gives spectacular views, especially from the lighthouse at its highest point. But be prepared for it to be either very windy or foggy.
