While
vacationing in San Francisco at the Washington Square Inn, make sure
to visit the amazing Point Reyes National Seashore! It's breathtaking scenery and rich
history of culture makes it a welcomed trade from the normal hustle
and bustle of everyday life. Whether you choose to hike the varied
trails, take a horseback ride out to the beach, kayak off the shore
or swim at Heart's Desire Beach you will definitely make memories to
last a lifetime!
Point Reyes is one of the many natural beauties of San Francisco.
The park's 88,000 acres cover over 100 square miles and are
accessible through numerous well-maintained trails that help
preserve many historic relics of ways of life that are long since
gone in California. Estuaries, windswept beaches, coastal scrub
grasslands, salt and freshwater marshes and coniferous forests
create a haven of 80 miles of unspoiled and undeveloped coastline.
Point Reyes is a peninsula that has been an important agricultural
area of San Francisco, California for hundreds of years. The Miwok
People, Spanish and Mexican along with a series of other different
cultures are supported by Point Reyes in today's modern America.
There are some amazing interpretative exhibits as well, such as the
Miwok Indian Village displayed as it may have looked in the mid
sixteenth century when it was visited by Sir Francis Drake.
There are tons of other exciting activities that are also available
for the whole family's enjoyment ! Visit the Muir Woods and be
captivated by the giant redwood forest, tour the historic
lighthouse, enjoy bird watching at Bolinas Lagoon, observe the sea
lions playing on the beaches, the tule elk at Pierce Point or watch
for the giant whales swimming just offshore. Point Reyes National
Seashore is the perfect accent to your San Francisco area vacation!
