Point Reyes National Seashore is one of the most beautiful spots along the California coast. I have been going there for years and I wanted to make this video to share some of my favorite spots and to encourage others to visit and invest in this special area of the state. Here are 11 things I love in Point Reyes, from waterfalls and hiking trails to lighthouses and beaches. Let me know what I left off in the comments.

Point Reyes is such a wonderful place! For reference, the best time to visit Drakes beach is late January - Mid February. That is when the adorable elephant seal pups are on the beach. The wooden bridge you showed on the Abbott's Lagoon trail is a great spot to see the family of otters that lives near the beach (just be sure to give them space). Additionally, the Drake's Estero trail is a worthwhile hike: It has beautiful views of the Estero, many wildflowers in the Spring and lots of edible berries along the trail depending on the time of year. The Estero is home to bat rays and leopard sharks, which you may also be able to spot from the shore when the tide is high. When the tide is low, Sunset Beach at the far end of the Estero trail is a decent spot for tidepooling. Look for purple shore crabs hiding in the rock crevices.

This video was a flashback when our boys were little. We walked down to the epic lighthouse 300 steps. Thank you for reminding me of our epic vacation to Stinson Beach and Point Reyes. We will never forget the amazing wood fired pizza at Cafe Reyes.

I had the opportunity to have been there, it was a gift from my brother, after having spent 20 years, it was a beautiful memory that will remain in my memories forever.

About 8 years ago I got to take a girl who was born and raised in Colorado to Point Reyes. Snapped a picture of her first time seeing the ocean. Such a cool moment.

One of my favorite spots. I like the wooden fence that was split in half during an earthquake long ago near the visitor center.

This is where I spend most of my time. I absolutely love it there 😊 The Shipwreck has really degraded since last years storms. The Point Reyes side has collapsed 😢

Oh bummer, it has been a little while since I have been there but I figured after the last time that it would not last a lot longer.

You should do a video on a little area called Strawberry by Pinecrest lake. So many good fishing and hiking spots

The first minute of this video is basically a filming locations video of the 1980 John Carpenter horror film "The Fog" as it was filmed there.

When you do long trips do you typically rent a car? I am planning a trip from Los Angeles to north cascade national park and back to Los Angeles. How would you rate the reliability of a car rental and is there any specific rental companie you prefer?

Very nice video! Where did you stay and where did you eat?

I stayed at an Airbnb in Point Reyes Station last time and ate there, it was great. You can also drive in from San Rafael, which is longer but cheaper.

Great video! I didn’t know all those spots were in the same area! We never seem to time our coastal trips right to see adult male elephant seals, What month did you go?
