6:13 PM LOCAL TIMEPoint Reyes is a windswept peninsula and national seashore on California's north-central coast, where the Pacific crashes against expansive beaches and steep headlands. The area is celebrated for its wildlife, including sea sooty shearwaters and tule elk, and its dramatic landscapes, from the Point Reyes Lighthouse to sheltered estuaries and moss-draped forests inland. Visitors come for multi-day hikes, coastal kayak trips, and bay-area surfing, with key attractions and facilities clustered around Point Reyes Station and the main park area. The climate is cool and foggy near the coast, turning drier and sunnier inland; conditions can change rapidly, especially at higher elevations or exposed headlands. Resources such as trail maps, weather forecasts, and lodging are available from National Park Service, Marin County Visitor Center, and local businesses.
