Things To Do

Muir Woods National Monument

Wander among an ancient stand of the world's tallest trees in 550-acre Muir Woods. Book early as it is very popular.

Hog Island Oyster Co

Ten miles north of Point Reyes Station you’ll find the salty turnout for Hog Island Oyster Company. There’s not much to see: just some picnic tables and BBQ grills, an outdoor cafe and a window selling the famously silky oysters and a few other provisions. A picnic at the farm makes an unforgettable lunch; it's popular, and reservations are required. Book early!

Cowgirl Creamery

Perhaps the best cheeses made in Northern California, Marin, and probably beyond. Reserve in advance for an artisanal cheesemaker’s demonstration and tasting. Watch the curd-making and cutting; then sample a half-dozen fresh and aged cheeses. (Fridays at 11am)

Bolinas Beach

Small funky hippy town to explore!

Mount Tamalpais State Park

Mt Tamalpais State Park encompasses 6300 acres of parklands and 60 miles of trails. Get a map and don't miss the summit of East Peak. Panoramic Hwy climbs from Hwy 1 through the park, then winds downhill to Stinson Beach, a mellow seaside town. Park headquarters are at Pantoll Station, the nexus of many trails, with a wooded first-come, first-served campground.

Point Reyes National Seashore

A rough-hewn beauty, Point Reyes National Seashore boasts marine mammals and birds, as well as scores of shipwrecks. Filled with fantastic hikes, beaches(temperate water) and a picturesque lighthouse .

Saltwater Oyster Depot

Inverness Park Market

Great for sandwiches and staples!

Bovine Bakery

Brickmaiden Breads Bakery

Tomales Point Trailhead

It is not to difficult but if you do the whole hike its about 2 1/2-3 hours. Views of both Pacific Ocean and Tomales bay. Lots of Tule Elk.

Chimney Rock Trail Head

Chimney Rock Trail Head, beautiful but more of a walk. There is a fun walk from Shell beach to Indian beach on the Tomales side right in Inverness. Also a fun beach to hang with kids.
