The Journey Is the View

Stretching along the rugged spine of the Point Reyes peninsula, the Tomales Point Trail offers some of the most breathtaking scenery in the national seashore. As the trail winds between Tomales Bay and the Pacific Ocean, hikers are rewarded with panoramic coastal vistas, rolling grasslands, and the chance to spot the area’s famous tule elk grazing nearby.

Because the trail is an out-and-back route, you can tailor your adventure to your schedule. Enjoy a shorter stroll to Windy Gap or continue farther toward Tomales Point for an even more immersive experience through this remarkable landscape. Spring wildflowers, coastal fog, and dramatic ocean views make every season feel unique.

Bring sturdy shoes, dress in layers, and don’t forget your camera—this is one of those places where the journey is just as memorable as the destination.
