Photograph the historic Point Reyes Lighthouse

Inverness, California

Description

Catch panoramic views of the pacific against the steep, rocky shoreline. On many days witness an eerie yet intoxicating cloak of fog that falls over the old historic lighthouse.

Point Reyes is deemed one of the windiest spots on the Pacific Coast and the 2nd foggiest place in the entire North American continent. This lighthouse is a historic landmark, built in 1870 and is no longer in use. Time your trip during visiting hours and you can actually go inside the lighthouse and explore this relic of the past.

There is a parking lot at the point. From the parking lot you can expect a 10 minute walk to the lighthouse. There are some 300 steps down to the base, so be sure to bring water. The place itself is small, but entirely picturesque and tranquil.

Point Reyes Lighthouse

From San Francisco, drive north over the Golden Gate Bridge and onto the scenic Route One. Plan to spend a full day on the round trip if you're going for the first time; along the drive, you'll most likely want to stop every ten minutes to check out the charming seaside towns or the stunning coastal vistas. When you reach Point Reyes, turn left onto Sir Francis Drake Boulevard and take this ro...

Chimney Rock

Chimney Rock is a 1.8-mile out-and-back, single-track trail. The trailhead gets crowded (even on weekdays) with amateur and professional photographers, as well as nature lovers clutching field guides. Hikers seeking a quiet nature experience may wish to look elsewhere. The display is impressive, though. Carpets of flowers such as goldenfields, blue-eyed grass, and mule ear sunflowers, are drama...

Point Reyes Secret Beach, Amphitheater and Cathedral

Point Reyes Secret Beach, Amphitheater and Cathedral is located in Point Reyes National Seashore near Limantour Beach. This is an out-and-back coastal hike along the beach, which will shrink as the tide comes up. It is best to arrive at the Crater and Amphitheater when the tide is going out close to 0.0 or a negative tide to give yourself a little time to take everything in before hiking back u...

Limantour Beach

The entire drive to Pt. Reyes is picturesque, but once you make it to Limantour, you and your dog can both get out and enjoy it! This area, between Drake's Bay and an estuary, allows you to spend time relaxing or head out for a run (keep the dog on leash). If you're lucky you might either get a chance to take in the harbor seals or grey whales. Keep in mind that you should stay to the southeast...

Cypress Tree Tunnel in Point Reyes

Just north of San Francisco, there's a row of giant Monterey cypress trees that forms a “tree tunnel”. Loved by Bay Area locals, it's a tucked away spot in the Point Reyes National Seashore for photographers to capture early morning sun rays, or for anyone to get some moments of solitude. At the end of the tunnel, you'll find the historic RCA/Marconi Station. In the early 1900s, this was a wir...
