3 Must See Spots at Point Reyes National Seashore!

Visiting Point Reyes was one of our favourite parts of our time in San Francisco! There are endless beautiful views here, from nearly 100 year old cypress trees to miles of ocean views! Here are 3 spots to check out while you’re here!⤵️

🌊Elephant Seal Overlook: This easy 0.5 mile out and back trail, will take you to a beautiful overlook of Drakes Bay! The viewing platform will give you views of the elephant seals. Take in the beautiful views and admire these creatures in their natural habitat!

🌊Cypress Tree Tunnel: This famous landmark is known for its picturesque beauty. It features a stunning pathway formed by a row of Monterey cypress trees that curve overhead, creating a tunnel-like effect. The trees were planted almost 90 years ago!

🌊South Beach Overlook: This was one of the most spectacular views in Point Reyes! The overlook is a short walk from the Point Reyes Lighthouse. You can also whale watch here!
