Things To Do
Muir Woods National Monument
Muir Woods National Monument is part of California’s Golden Gate National Recreation Area. It’s known for its towering old-growth redwood trees. Trails wind among the trees to Cathedral Grove and Bohemian Grove, and along Redwood Creek.
Matt Davis Trail Head
This popular hike departs from the town of Stinson Beach, and harmonizes a few popular trails including the Steep Ravine and Dipsea trails (both amazing). This 6 1/2 mile loop features waterfalls, redwoods, Douglas firs, oak forests, grasslands, canyons, and views galore!
Tennessee Valley Trailhead
Tennessee Valley is an amazing offshoot of the Marin Headlands, with hiking trails to suit the whole family. The trail is mostly level; it begins at the parking area and travels 1.7 miles to Tennessee Beach. Tennessee Valley contains a bevy of wildlife; from mighty raptors to common swallows. The valley is teeming with deer, coyote, and on occasion you might even see a bobcat.
Point Reyes National Seashore
Known for its thunderous ocean breakers, rocky headlands, expansive sand beaches, open grasslands, brushy hillsides, and forested ridges.
Bolinas Beach
The seaside community of Bolinas is the oldest town in coastal Marin. The wildlife rich Bolinas Lagoon is great for kayaking and canoeing.
Stinson Beach
Stinson’s white sand and oceanfront make it one of the best swimming beaches in northern California—not to mention a favorite surfing, picnicking, and volleyball spot. The best times of year for surfing are winter and spring.
