To reach the trail, take the Chimney Rock Trailhead and follow its path northeast, heading to Drakes Bay. This one is an out and back trail that is relatively easy to complete and should take around 50 to 60 minutes depending on your pace. With that being said, make sure that you watch out for foxes, as they have multiple dens around the area to hunt for birds. It’s a loop trail that starts near Point Reyes Station, and it’s an excellent choice for beginners who want to enjoy a short hike while bird watching and enjoying the great weather. The woodpecker trail is one of the shortest and easiest hiking trails in Point Reyes National Seashore. The trail starts with level ground, but as you go deeper into the trail, you’ll notice that a tiny strip of sand separates the lagoon from the ocean.

You can reach the lagoon by taking its trailhead from the Lagoon parking lot. This area is also pretty close to the ocean, but it’s not recommended to swim here because of the current and water contamination. If you want a relatively untapped spot where you can admire the beautiful scenery, watch the amazing birds of the area, and pick some unique wildflowers in the spring, you should go to the Abbotts Lagoon. Since this is the main road you’ll be taking to see all other things in the park, it’s not necessarily something you’ll go out of your way to do, but it must be mentioned on the list of things to do.Įven if you don’t have time to stop at all things along the route, it’s worth it to take a drive on this road through the park. This road, at 42.8-miles long, is the main route through the park, leading all the way from the I-580 to the Point Reyes Peninsula, where you’ll find the Point Reyes Lighthouse. The best time to come to the trees for photos is in the morning on a day that’s not too foggy. The cypress trees are located about 10 miles down that road just after the “North District Operations Center” sign.Īt the end of the long driveway under the cypress trees is the KPH Maritime Radio Receiving Station that’s open on Saturdays. To get there, you drive along Sir Francis Drake Boulevard towards the Lighthouse. These Monterey cypress trees were planed in 1930 and today create this amazing canopy of trees that extends over the road. The Cypress Tree Tunnel is one of those spots that you really can’t miss. I love taking photos of these type of natural occurrences that just seem too good to be real.
