@gabbettfamilytravels: If you’re planning a trip to Point Reyes, save this list—these are the stops that make the whole drive worth it. 🌊 Point Reyes Lighthouse – One of the most iconic viewpoints on the California coast. Expect dramatic cliffs, strong winds, and (if you do the stairs) a historic lighthouse tucked into the rock face. 🦭 Elephant Seal Overlook – A safe viewing area where you can watch massive elephant seals resting and swimming along the shoreline, especially in winter and spring. 🏖️ Drakes Beach – Wide, bright sand cliffs that feel almost unreal in color contrast. Great for long walks and ocean photography. Have a picnic on the beach! 🌲 Cypress Tree Tunnel – A naturally formed tunnel of Monterey cypress trees that creates one of the most photographed roads in Northern California. Tip: visit the radio station here on Saturday’s for Morse code demonstrations! 🦌 Tule Elk Reserve / Tomales Point Trail – Open coastal trail where tule elk roam freely along ridgelines overlooking the Pacific. A can’t miss! And if you have more time, don’t skip these: 🌿 Abbotts Lagoon – Easy hike with wetlands, dunes, and ocean views + sea otters! 🪨 Chimney Rock – Hike to rugged cliffs + dramatic ocean edges + wildflowers in spring. 🚢 Shipwreck at Inverness – The famous half-sunken boat resting in the marsh, especially striking at low tide. 📌 Save this before your next coastal California trip—and comment which stop you’d go to first! 👉 Follow for more California hidden gems + family road trip adventures#CapCut
