πβ΅οΈ Point Reyes Lighthouse & Stunning Beaches
Point Reyes National Seashore is an absolute must-visit treasure near the San Francisco Bay Area! This time, I checked out the iconic Point Reyes Lighthouse and the breathtaking nearby beaches, and I was truly amazed! π π Point Reyes Lighthouse π After parking at the lighthouse parking lot, itβs a 0.5-mile walk along a cliffside trail to reach this historic lighthouse, which has stood for over 150 years! But the real thrill is the 300+ super steep steps down (and back up)βit takes courage to go down and real stamina to climb back up! π Standing next to the lighthouse, feeling the sea breeze and watching the mighty Pacific Ocean, itβs absolutely worth it! ππ (You might even spot whales in the winter!) π Point Reyes Beach π After visiting the lighthouse, I highly recommend taking a stroll along Drakeβs Beach or North Beach. These beaches are very pristine, not too crowded, and the wind is strong but the views are incredible! If youβre lucky, you might even see cute seals basking in the sun on the beach. π π‘ Tips: β Check opening hours: The lighthouse is usually open from Friday to Monday, so you might not be able to visit on other days! β Wear a windproof jacket: The wind here is super strong, so bring a jacket even in summer! β Check the weather in advance: Foggy days can limit visibility, so a sunny day is the best time to visit! π Summary: The lighthouse and beaches at Point Reyes have an isolated beauty that feels like youβre in a different world. If you love nature and adventure, you definitely need to visit! Add it to your Bay Area travel list now! ππ #SanFranciscoSurroundings #CaliforniaTravel #PointReyes #LighthouseVisit #BeachStroll
