Description
Tomales Bay State Park is a day-use park which features multiple gently sloping, surf-free beaches, protected from winds by Inverness Ridge, the backbone of the Point Reyes Peninsula.
The park is composed of three distinct use areas:
Heart's Desire - Like its name, it is the heart of Tomales Bay State Park, where visitors can find the park's Ranger Station, Heart's Desire Beach, Vista Point Picnic Area, and hiking trails to Indian Beach, Pebble Beach, and Shell Beach. The downside to this beautiful area is that dogs are not permitted on any beaches or trails here.
Shell Beach - The area offers two small beaches with access to Johnstone trail, which conveniently connects to Heart's Desire. The beaches at Shell Beach are only accessible by hiking trail from the parking lot, which has limited space. Dogs are also not permitted on any beaches or trails in this area.
Millerton Point - This area sits on the inland side of the bay and features Alan Sieroty Beach, along with a loop trail. Although dogs are not permitted on the beach, they are allowed on the loop trail while on leash.
