Home

Trail Description:
These are the northern most beaches on the west side of Pt. Reyes. Both involve a short  hike along a vegetation studded stream canyon. During this time of year you can expect fog, wind, and some sunshine - but mostly in the afternoon.  Dress warm, bring binoculars for the birds, and expect brisk weather.


Trail Location: From Inverness, take the See the park page for directions. It's about 9 miles from Pt. Reyes Station along the beautiful Pierce Point Rd.
