Beaches
Point Reyes seashore is an absolutely stunning place. Stinson Beach is a popular beach to go to in the summer when it is warm, but is also beautiful to walk along in the winter. One of our favorite hikes, Alamere falls, is located here

Great for elephant seal watching! Particulary in the spring, when the babies lie with their mommas on the beach. Amazingly beautiful beach.

Tucked into a cove along Tomales Bay, this part of the bay is actually warm enough to swim in during the summer. Local spot. Has about a 1/2 mile walk to get to the beach through a trail.

Hikes
About an 6-8 mile out and back trail. One of my favorite trails because it has a combination of hills, shoreline, and beach. The end of the trail ends at Alamere Falls, which is a large waterfall that cascades from the cliff into the ocean. You are able to scramble down the embankment, or just enjoy from above. Can be a busy trail, as the secret of this trail is now out.

Low-key great burger joint just down the street from our house. Recently underwent new ownership, but previous owners were super friendly. Great burgers, shakes, local feel.

Trail running
One of my favorite trails to go running on. Single track for part of it. Can be accessed from different points for different lengths. Nice mixture of rolling path, flats, and great views of nature along the bay.
