Description
Muir Beach Overlook boasts breathtaking expansive views of the Pacific Coast, including the Point Reyes Peninsula. Explore several historic base-end stations, and observation posts that were part of the San Francisco Bay coastal defense system - where soldiers could view ships through telescopes, and plot their distance, speed, and direction in order to aim nearby coastal defense guns that protected the area from invading warships in the 1900s. The iconic staircase that leads down to the small overlook has been a popular tourist destination that attracts visitors from around the world year-round.

Decided to have an early night and stopped here around sunset (beautiful!). Police asked me to leave shortly after 9pm - no overnight camping.
