The Great Beach of Point Reyes National Seashore. View from the headlands.
When I think “Big,” I think of The Great Beach at Point Reyes National Seashore. It’s a biggie, alright! This grand strand goes on for as far as the eye can see, with 11 miles of undeveloped Pacific Ocean shoreline to explore. The amazing, larger than life sandy coastline is located in Marin County, about 30 miles north of San Francisco, California. Also known as Point Reyes Beach, The Great Beach includes sections called South Beach (closest to the headlands) and North Beach. Beautiful!
“We need to keep some of our vanishing shoreline an unspoiled place, where all men, a few at a time, can discover what really belongs there ~can find their own Island in Time.”
~Harold Gilliam, “Island in time; The Point Reyes Peninsula“

Love Point Reyes. when my husband and I were young and poor we lived in Berkeley California and took many hikes there, the terrain is so diverse thanks for the memory.

You’re welcome! We have a few photos of Kehoe Beach, McClures Beach, and the lighthouse, too. ~Enjoy.

Wow! Great Photo! I love the way the beach sea and sky all disappear into the mist
The only place I have seen beaches do that is India, but I haven’t been to Australia….. yet!

Thank you, Barbara! The Point Reyes peninsula is awe-inspiring! Standing in that particular spot is like being on top of the world.
