Point Reyes National Seashore
Things To Know Before You Come
 

When planning a family vacation, a weekend get-away or even just a Sunday drive, it often helps to know what you will encounter at your destination. This section will assist you in determining how you will get around Point Reyes National Seashore, what sort of weather conditions you may encounter, and what to look out for that may pose a threat to your safety.  You can also find out where in the surrounding communities you can eat and sleep or camp, and obtain other amenities you may desire. If you wish to bring along a pet, the pet will limit where you can go and the activities in which you may participate. It's always a good idea to familiarize yourself with the Park Regulations so that you don't inadvertently break any laws.
