One of the assets of Point Reyes National Seashore is that all those wild, surf-lapped landscapes are just a blink away from civilized comforts. There’s no need to pack in a trunk-load of groceries with so many good restaurants nearby. Then again, there’s something to be said for having a kitchen where you can make breakfast and save a few bucks by rustling up your own lunch or dinner.  more »

Although dogs are allowed on only three beaches within the preserve, the always refreshing rewards of a visit make it well worth the drive.  more »

The cargo he spilled is long gone, but treasure remains for or all to enjoy in the form of crashing waves, bountiful shorebirds, ducks, harbor seals and passing gray whales. more »
