Watch the Sunset at Point Reyes Lighthouse
Inverness, California
Description
Added by Joel Bear
Beautiful scenery. Ocean sunset. Coastal hiking. Good surf. Photographically stunning with great viewpoints driving into the seashore. Changing weather.
From San Francisco, drive north over the Golden Gate Bridge and onto the scenic Route One. Plan to spend a full day on the round trip if you're going for the first time; along the drive, you'll most likely want to stop every ten minutes to check out the charming seaside towns or the stunning coastal vistas.
When you reach Point Reyes, turn left onto Sir Francis Drake Boulevard and take this road all the way to the lighthouse. (Side note: don't come in the winter, since this road is closed due to storms.) The road is beautiful, taking you along deltas, past open farmland, through forests, and out to the ocean. When you reach the end of the road there will be a parking lot; leave your car and walk the rest of the way to the lighthouse.
Even if your drive up to Point Reyes is foggy and stormy, there's a good chance the fog will clear by the time you arrive. Get ready for a sunset over the Pacific—and make sure you have enough warm clothes so that you can enjoy it!
Note:- The lighthouse stairs are open from 10am - 4:30pm
- The lighthouse is closed on Tuesday, Wednedsay and Thursday
