Tomales Bay, California
Tomales Bay is a long, narrow inlet of the Pacific Ocean in Marin County in northern California in the United States. It is approximately 15 miles long and averages nearly 1.0 miles wide, effectively separating the Point Reyes Peninsula from the mainland of Marin County. It is located approximately 30 miles northwest of San Francisco. The bay forms the eastern boundary of Point Reyes National Seashore.
Oyster farming is a major industry on the bay. The two largest producers are Tomales Bay Oyster Company and Hog Island Oyster Company, both of which retail oysters to the public and have picnic grounds on the east shore. Hillsides east of Tomales Bay are grazed by cows belonging to local dairies. There is also grazing land west of the bay, on farms and ranches leased from Point Reyes National Seashore.
The bay sees significant amounts of water sports including sailing, kayaking, fishing and motor boating. Watercraft may be launched on Tomales Bay from the public boat ramp at Nick's Cove, north of Marshall.
Towns bordering Tomales Bay include Inverness, Inverness Park, Point Reyes Station, and Marshall. Additional hamlets include Nick's Cove, Spengers, Duck Cove, Shallow Beach, and Vilicichs. Dillon Beach lies just to the north of the mouth of the bay, and Tomales just to the east.
The area was once Coast Miwok territory. Documented villages in the area included Echa-kolum (south of Marshall), Sakloki (opposite Tomales Point), Shotommo-wi (near the mouth of the Estero de San Antonio), and Utumia (near Tomales).
Francis Drake is thought to have landed in nearby Drakes Estero in 1579.Members of the Vizcaíno Expedition found the Bay in 1603, and thinking it a river, named it Rio Grande de San Sebastian.

Tomales Point Trailhead,Tule Elk Reserve.
Tomales Point Trailhead is locared at Point Reyes Station, California.
The narrow, windswept sliver of Point Reyes National Seashore ending at Tomales Point has just one main trail, which rolls gently for just under five miles. Along the way you'll see the ragged coastline and roving Tule elk herds that make this the essential northern California coastal hike and in Tule Elk Reserve, Hunting Hunters, Is allowed :).
While seabirds and sea breezes complement your Tomales Trail experience, the Tule elk are the main attraction. Every year during late summer and early autumn the bulls use their giant racks of antlers to battle it out and build harems of females to mate with. The rut, as the mating season is called, features fierce combat and the piercing, high-pitched bugling of bulls declaring their dominance (or challenging another bull's).
Most of the year the elk will be standing around and grazing, but even so they are a sight to behold. While most hikers prefer loops to out-and-back routes, you'll have no issues with this one because after you reach the rocky tip of Tomales Point, you'll get to see everything again on the way back. And you'll want to.
Weather is the wild card for a Tomales Point hike: often the coast will be fogged in during the morning, though it may clear up in the afternoon. Don't worry about never seeing any elk: I've hiked here in pea-soup fog and rain and still seen a few off in the distance.

Ride with us along the California Coast from Point Reyes Station to Bodega Bay. 32 miles of twists and turns along Highway 1. Part 37 of our 36 day Western America Motorcycle Tour.
Tomales Bay Travel Guide | California Travel Tips
Go on a tour of beautiful Tomales Bay with California travel guide Veronica Hill in this episode of California Travel Tips.
Located 30 miles north of San Francisco, along scenic Highway 1, Tomales Bay stretches 15 miles from Bodega Bay to Point Reyes Station. Marshall boasts just 400 residents, and is dotted with weathering dairy farms, rustic oyster stands, and charming waterfront inns.
One of the best is Nicks' Cove, a cluster of 1930s cottages that has quickly become one of San Francisco's hottest weekend escapes.
This has been and continues to be the place that people come up Highway 1, and they stop and they stay and they eat and they drink and have a really good time, says Dena Grunt, general manager.
We're staying in Bandit's Bungalow, a two-bedroom waterfront cottage that's perfect for families. Not only does it have a fully stocked bar, but there are heated bathroom floors, a private deck, and a wood-burning stove. Your stay comes with a welcome delivery of their famous BBQd oysters in the afternoon, followed by a delicious continental breakfast in the morning.
Nick's Cove has 12 different cottages to choose from. Five sit on the waterfront, and seven sit just across the highway in a eucalyptus grove. If you can't stay the night, be sure to make a reservation for dinner. Executive chef Austin Perkins, an alum of the Michelin-starred Cyrus in Healdsburg, serves up a delicious seafood menu using the bounty of local farms. Start out with an oyster sampler, then dig in to Austin's decadent crab mac n cheese.
While you're here, the great outdoors beckons. You can hop in a fishing boat, go on a kayaking tour of the bay, or cycle down Highway 1. Foodies shouldn't miss Hog Island Oyster Company, where you can shuck and smoke your own Tomales Bay oysters along the waterfront. One of our favorite stops is Cowgirl Creamery in Point Reyes Station. Housed in a restored barn below the bay, Cowgirl Creamery is celebrated for its artisan California cheese, served in top restaurants throughout the state. Foodies flock to this charming cheese shop to stock up on fresh-made fromage, take a class, or take part in their weekly cheese-making tours.
After a day of exploring Tomales Bay, head back to the comforts of Nick's Cove, where you can head out to the pier and enjoy the beautiful California sunset.

Tule Beatiful at Point Reyes
Hear the sounds of thunderous ocean breakers crashing against rocky at Point Reyes National Seashore headlands overlooking expansive sand beaches. Herds of tule elk romp the open grasslands through brushy hillsides as hundreds of motionless elephant seals basked in the sun at Drakes beach. You can hike through thousands of species of plants and other animals, including the common milking cows which dairy and cattle ranches on Point Reyes peninsula represent the single largest cultural landscape. Taste a fresh oysters at the farms at Tomales Bay as fishermen pulled in their catch of the day.

Alamere Falls 9/11/2017 - Point Reyes National Seashore, CA
Alamere Falls is a beautiful waterfall in Point Reyes National Seashore. It consists of upper and lower falls flowing into the ocean. It cascades over steep bluffs at Alamere Creek Beach. Upper falls separately fall along the stream on the ledge of the bluffs. Lower falls cascade down the bluffs directly into the beach.
Alamere Falls hike starts with Coastal Trail from Palomarin Trailhead in Bolinas. The hike to the waterfall is about 8.5 miles RT, and there is a slight elevation loss/gain, but not significant. Trail is in good condition overall, except some uneven eroded sections here and there. After passing two lakes (Bass Lake and Pelican Lake), you come to a cairn (arrow sign of rocks) pointing to the route to the waterfall. The path looks like a narrow tunnel covered with vegetation. Be wary of poison oak as you go through the narrow path. If you opt out taking the path to the waterfall at the cairn, there's a route recommended by NPS....continue Coastal Trail north to Wildcat Camp and trek south along the beach at low tide to reach the waterfall.
Scrambling down/up the shale bluffs from the path to upper falls and further down to lower falls at the beach can be a bit challenging as it is steep. Make sure of secure handhold and footing as you go.
Bring enough water to stay hydrated as half of the trail is exposed and provides no shade. Parking is free and restroom is available. Plan the journey according to tides for viewing the waterfall from the beach.

Hiking Alamere Falls, Point Reyes
#FamilyHiking
Scenery: ★★★★
Difficulty: ★★★
Distance: 8 miles round trip
Elevation gain: 1400 feet
Course:
A few tips for this hike:
- Alamere Falls is a rare tidefall, a waterfall that flows directly into the ocean. It is one of only two in the Contiguous United States, the other is McWay Falls which is also very beautiful.
- Going down to the beach is a little sketch and not recommended for small children. My younger daughter is 11 and she was fine.
- Go early in the morning or late in the afternoon (to see the sunset). This is very popular trail. In the midday, you will have to park far away from the trailhead.
- Download offline Google map and use GPS in your phone to find the fork from the coast trail to the waterfalls. The last 0.4 mile off the coast trail is unmaintained trail and it's very easy to miss where to turn.
- Google point reyes tide table and go during the high tide to see the waterfalls meet the ocean. (This video is taken during the high tide.)
- Go after the rain when there is a lot of water in the waterfalls.
