Point Reyes National Seashore: Tomales Point

There’s something about the stark beauty of the coastal bluffs, often appearing and disappearing in sheets of wispy fog. The Victorian-built whitewashed buildings of Pierce Ranch stand isolated and haunting on the green hills. Springtime wildflowers add bursts of color along the trail. Hiking Tomales Point is invigorating and mysterious, so that your blood starts pumping before even setting out. Though hikers, as a rule, are generally unsatisfied with a return-trip single trail, the crashing of the Pacific against the shore and the majestic rocky sculptures and sea cliffs offer a contemplative view that’s worth revisiting. This eTrail also includes suggested nearby attractions, camping & lodging, restaurants, and local outdoor retailers.
