Just past Chicken Ranch Sir Francis Drake splits. A sharp right enters Seahaven and at the very end there's a parking lot. This won"t be found on any map. Local's secret. The mile hike down to the beach is easy . When you get to the beach look for a little bridge and a trail up the other side. Shell 1 and Shell 2! Shell 2 is a clothing optional beach.

At the junction of Bear Valley and Sir Francis Drake. A tree lined lush walk along the Papermill Creek. Another favorite.

But this beach is my absolute favorite. My grandmother claimed it had the freshest air on the planet. Hand's down, great. A circular walk atop the bluff and drops down to the beach back to the parking lot. Its located north of Pt. Reyes @ 3 1/2 miles. You can see our house from there!. Big parking lot and restroom.
