Such a beautiful area! The visitor's center in Bear Valley is great. The earthquake trail is a wonderful spot to learn California history and geology in one. The Woodpecker trail is lush along the creek with the heavy scent of bay leaves. The Kule Loklo trail leads to the recreated Miwok village, which has sadly not been kept up since the COVID pandemic. Still a cool spot to visit. Be on the lookout for wildlife- lots of black tailed deer and birds, but we also spotted a fox and bobcat on the hike! Early mornings are best for wildlife viewing.

great place to have a picnic and/or a hike. Lots of wild life - deer, quails, and one time I saw a bobcat there.

The main visitor center in the park gives information about the roads, trails, and history. Inside, you can see exhibits showing the different ecosystems and cultural heritage. With plenty of parking and nearby trails, it's a good spot to take a break, and I liked the quick walk to the replica of a native village.

The volunteer staff at the visitor center were very helpful, especially identifying the areas where we could hike with our dogs. They also were happy to show a film in their auditorium about the park at our request. The exhibits about all kinds of wildlife and sea life in the area were really well done and helpful in terms of giving us a picture about what we might expect to see.

Very well maintained Visitor centre. Staff is responsive and friendly. You can get stamps for your NPS passport here. Since you get little to no phone network around the area, I recommend you pick up Point Reyes Map from here as it comes quite handy to find your way around to the nearest attractions and reserve.EV owners take note, they have installed many destination chargers and it is open for use for the general public.

It is a gift shop where you can buy souvenirs of Point Reyes National Seashore Park. To name a few, it’s books, post cards, shirts and jackets about the place. Its one of many well known national seashores of California State. It’s a great place for natural sight seeing by hiking, camping, and visiting beaches for varieties of activities anyone can do to have good time there. One can have accessed all things listed above plus enjoying the beautiful sceneries of our Mother Natural has created for local and visitors all over world.

It is good on the NPS side that the visitor center is right around US1. It is open till 5 pm.I entered at 4:56 and am still able to get the stamps on my nps passbook. Thanks to park ranger Ms Sierra, who suggested the better ways to explore the area and also recommended the further drive on the US Pacific Coastal Highway.

Great visitor center with a small walk around tour inside. It's free to visit and it's also where you can ask questions about your hiking/ backpacking permits. If you're backpacking, be sure to park in the gravel lot with a printed copy of your permit displayed on your dashboard. Happy exploring!

This is a well located and very large visitor center for Point Reyes. The gift shop has every collectible you'd be after and there's a pretty large exhibit section covering the flora and fauna of the park. There is a clean restroom just in front of the entrance door. Be sure to pickup a map here because you won't really have reception in the main areas of Point Reyes.

Usually not too crowded. Nice displays. Easy 5 mile walk to coast on a fairly flat fire road. Usually cool even during heat waves further inland.

Some interesting local/area historical, geological, flora, and fauna information are contained in the Visitor Center. This is a must see place when visiting.
