  • If you love being in nature and feeling as if you're standing on the edge of the earth, or if you like toying with the idea that you are the only "human" on this earth and want to go somewhere that this feels like a reality, than Point Reyes National Seashore is the place for you.Point Reyes National Seashore is a 70,000 acre park preserve located on the Point Reyes Peninsula in Marin County, CA. It juts out 10 miles into the Pacific Ocean and is host to over 45% of North American avian species and nearly 18% of California's plant species.It provides breathtaking and sweeping views of the California coastline in all it's "undeveloped" glory, and provides sanctuary to twenty-three threatened and endangered species.Pt. Reyes is infamous for whale watching as the California Gray Whale makes it's annual migration from Alaska down to Baja California, Mexico, where they breed and bare their calfs, and back again. Watch this video closely and you will see a whale or two. We had a "lucky" day and spotted 8 whales at the time we were there in early April.Other frequently spotted marine life include harbor seals, sea lions and elephant seals whom have chosen Pt. Reyes National Seashore as their own breeding grounds.Enjoy a day communing with nature or take in an ecological field seminar, and take in the beauty, sights and sounds of this magical natural wonderland.
