California - Point Reyes National Seashore

Point Reyes National Seashore is located on the Point Reyes Peninsula, just 30 miles from San Francisco, in Marin County. Point Reyes is all-out natural beauty; wide and sandy beaches, rocky headlands, grasslands, and forested ridges. If you have time, hike to the Alamere Falls, or look for the herds of Tule Elk from the Tomales Point, Limantour, and Drake Beach. Look out for northern elephant seals between December and March at the Elephant Seal or South Beach overlooks, cypress trees that grow into a tunnel, or visit the nearby town of Inverness to see a famous shipwreck. Before the day come to an end, take Chimney Rock Trail for exquisite sunsets and fabulous views.
