Point Reyes National Seashore, California

Whether you're boating to camp at Tomales Bay or hiking to a backcountry site in the Phillip Burton Wilderness, this one-of-a-kind combo of beaches, redwoods, and wine country is calling you to explore. 

Start your adventure at the Bear Valley Visitor Center for reservations, backcountry permits, maps, and parking information.  If you're kayaking to camp, be sure to start early in the morning to get the best beach spots. And don't forget the tides! You will want to camp far enough up that high tide doesn't catch you by surprise. Some of the beaches, like McClure beach, are only available during low tide.
