Drakes Beach

Drakes Beach is an isolated beach on the Point Reyes National Seashore. A long, picturesque drive along the shore leads you to the quaint beach that is a popular tourist attraction in the region. Sitting against the dramatic backdrop of great sandstone cliffs, the beach is also an ideal place to take leisurely strolls and go beachcombing. Visitors can watch northern elephant seals via a short trail that leads to a spectacular lookout point. With a bookstore and a visitor center at the location, Drakes Beach is an unmissable waterside attraction during summer.
