Point Reyes Beach North

Reviewed By sonofdragon - San Jose, United States

After Limantour Beach, we decided to explore Point Reyes Beach and got to the northern access point which is the North Beach. The South Beach access was closed due to road construction. Point Reyes Beach or the Great Beach is an incredible stretch of over 11-miles undeveloped ocean. Although it’s open to the public, exploring this rugged part of the country warrants some safety common sense. Here, the tides are exceptionally powerful and unpredictable. Definitely stay clear of the shore as sneaker waves, as the name implies, can appear suddenly and drag anyone out to sea. Cold water, dampened weather and strong waves make swimming not ideal. No lifeguard. Perhaps, a surfer haven for serious surfers looking for some challenge and high drama surfing fun. However, be cautioned, as we were told, that like sneaker waves, rogue waves can also appear like a wave train without warning and may drag or knock down unwitting surfers unconscious. Ok to walk barefoot, but again, stay clear of the shore. Dogs on leash are allowed for the most part, except north of the North Beach entrance where habitats for the threatened western snowy plover birds are protected. Free parking space and restroom. Check weather outlook, road condition, and beach closure before visit. Be aware of elephant breeding season. as beach may be closed.

Great nature trail about indigenous people also at this very attractive beach. The nature trail leads to another beach even quieter. Pictures of quieter Indian Beach.
