If you're looking for something short , do the earthquake trail along the San Andreas fault line or the Indian village trail (don't remember the exact name) where you can see an old Indian village

Just here to pick up a camping permit? No need to wait in the long line for the visitor information desk- great instead to the back desk for your permit. Don't forget to ask for a fire permit.

When I find myself at the Visitor Center I know I am having a great day. The rangers are so helpful and nice! Thank you!

The beaches are so beautiful and the sunsets are to DIE for! Bring your favorite person and show them natures bounty! The lighthouse is also really beautiful...bring comfy shoes ...a lot of steps.

Great places to visit while you're in Pt. Reyes;After hiking stop by Toby's Coffee and have an espresso to gear up, go to Osteria Stellina or the Station House Cafe for dinner...love Flower Power

took a hike on the main trail out to arch rock (bear creek trail , i believe), almost 10mi roundtrip, though still fairly easy as the trail is a wide fire trail with few steep sections.

Brett Panter

Electric plugs in the men's bath for charging batts and phones!!!

Megan Brown

Amazing hikes , ocean views , and wildlife watching . Take the Tomales Point trail out along the Tule Elk reserve and try to make yourself go back to civilization afterward.
