to & from

An hour drive north of San Francisco. The most direct route is thru Nicasio to the town of Point Reyes station. If time isn’t an issue, then I would suggest taking the Stinson Beach route…a little curvy, but the views of the ocean are amazing.

Where to Stay

Nick’s Cove or Olema House, which btw was voted #1 USA hotel by Conde Nast Reader’s Choice Award!!!
