California’s Point Reyes National Seashore is home to over 1500 specials of animals and plants. The Marin County sanctuary spans over 71,000 acres from the ocean to grassy rolling hills and forests. Visit the 1870 Point Reyes Lighthouse, a prime location from which to view migrating grey whales. Hike to the peak of Mount Wittenberg through the Philip Burton Wilderness. Visit Wildcat Beach to catch a view of the Alamere Falls. A replica Coast Miwok village teaches guests about life before Europeans arrived in California. Events include the annual Sand Sculpture Contest, held every August and now in its 4th decade. To volunteer, join in on Coastal Cleanup Day, or remove invasive plants with the Third Thursday Weeders.
