Point Reyes National Seashore
“Point Reyes is a poem: complex, untamed and raw, yet elegant”
Sunset Magazine

Encompassing 100 square miles of coastal wilderness, the park offers 80 miles of pristine coastline and over 150 miles of hiking trails. Rich in biodiversity, the park is home to over 45% of North American bird species and almost 18% of California’s plant species. Thirty-eight threatened and endangered species exist within the park.
