Elephant seals lounging around, high winds, and large waves make for an unforgettable pacific coast experience. Parking area is at the visitor center with restrooms and a seasonal restaurant. Very nice beach spot to walk and enjoy the salty , moist air.

One of the best beaches I've visited so far. We arrived at around 11 am on a Monday morning and there was no one else around. We had it to ourselves for a good 30 mins or so. The water was clean and refreshing on the feet. The look of this beach attracted me the most. Cliffs and clean golden wet sand. So it wasn't blowing all over the place. Quite photogenic. There is a small pond in front of the parking area with several ducks. Restrooms are kind of tucked inside the visitor center.

One of the more scenic rides to a beach I’ve been on with rolling green hills and pastures leading up to sandy cliffs overlooking a beach covered in elephant seals and giant banana slugs. Definitely worth the trip if you enjoy exploring and sight seeing!

We visited during the sunset.We loved the sandy cliffs along the beach at the gorgeous geological site at the tip of Point Reyes.

Great beach to watch the Pt Reyes National Seashore’s annual Sand Castle competition on the last Saturday of August (a week before the Labor Day weekend). Large parking lot a short distance to the beach. There’s a building with a small cafe/food store which opens some weekends for hot beverages and snacks. In the spring, please check Pt Reyes seashore National park website the beach is closed to the public during seals pupping season.

The elephant seals are currently weaning their young on the beach (Jan 2023). You cannot access the beach but can see them from the parking lot!

Loved this place - such a lovely stop to see the elephant seals. The baby pups on the beach were adorable. Seeing them so close up that you could see their beautiful eyes that felt like they were looking at you. Their hands are so human - the park ranger told us they were actually land animals that went back out to sea. Amazing creatures so see so close up.
