Point Reyes and Tomales Bay

Visit and photograph the scenic coastal areas of Point Reyes National Seashore and Tomales Bay, north of San Francisco and south of Bodega Bay.

The area is made of rolling green hills, colliding with Pacific Ocean. Seascape and landscape encompassing beaches, cliffs, wildflowers, Point Reyes lighthouse, historic coast guard station at Chimney Rock and coastal wildlife will be your photographic opportunity. The area is sprinkled with several small towns like Point Reyes Station, Marshall, Tomales and for if your a movie lover, Bodega Bay where the movie The Birds was filmed.

For those of you wanting a view of Tomales Bay from the water, we have arranged a local expert to cruise the bay. Space is limited and we need to be on the water at high tide, see details in travel packet. A fellow member also relayed information about local safaris, this also is in the packet.

We are recommending staying at Tomales Bay Resort and Marina located at 12938 Sir Francis Drake Boulevard, Inverness, CA. Space is limited. Room rates range from $175 to $285 plus taxes and fees per night. You can start booking March 1st. More information included in travel packet.

Please email Jim Sakaguchi at jimlhpc@gmail.com if you are planning to attend. We will be holding a pre-meeting to go over the travel packet.

You can find wildflowers in many places in Point Reyes National Seashore and an internet search can result in many suggestions. Wildflower photographer Charlie Russell visited Chimney Rock a few years ago and wrote an informative summary of the flowers he had photographed. See his report HERE
