Point Reyes National Seashore stretches for more than 71,000 beautiful acres along Marin County's Point Reyes Peninsula, attracting over 2.5 million visitors each year. The seashore, which is overseen by the National Park Service, is known throughout California for its gorgeous coastal beach, estuary, and headland panoramas, which can be explored via its extensive hiking and backpacking trail system.
Visitors can watch for whales and marine wildlife at the historic 1870 Point Reyes Lighthouse or the Point Reyes Lifeboat Station, the Pacific Coast's last remaining rail-launched lifeboat station. At the Drakes Bay Historic and Archaeological District and the Kule Loklo Village, visitors can learn about the area's indigenous and European settler history. The Phillip Burton Wilderness also protects over 30,000 acres of the seashore's fir and pine forest and grassland areas.
