Adventures at Point Reyes

On Saturday, Stella, Jeffrey and I took a long day trip to Point Reyes National Seashore. This large and stunningly beautiful area is just a bit north of San Francisco, and an hour drive from us in Berkeley. We started our visit with a picnic at North Beach, just one of thirteen beaches in the park.


After lunch we headed south to see the lighthouse. Known as the windiest place on the pacific coast, we had an amazing view of the beach we were just at.


Then we headed for the northern most beach, McClure Beach. It was here that I proclaimed "This is my new favorite beach in California". There's a quarter-mile hike down from the parking lot to a beach surrounded by beautiful cliffs.


At the southern end of the beach, there was a passage that led to another small but beautiful beach, only accessible when the tide is low. This was my favorite part.


We barely scratched the surface; there is so much more to explore at Point Reyes. I look forward to spending more time there.
