The Art of Weathering

Resting along the shoreline in Inverness, the Point Reyes Shipwreck has become an enduring symbol of the area’s maritime character. Although the fishing boat was intentionally beached decades ago with plans for restoration that never came to fruition, the elements transformed it into an unexpected local landmark beloved by photographers and visitors alike.

A short walk from the Inverness Store leads to a scenic overlook where you can admire the vessel against the calm waters of Tomales Bay. While the boat continues to weather with age, its quiet beauty and ever-changing appearance make every visit feel a little different. Please enjoy it from a safe distance and help preserve this iconic piece of West Marin history.
