Point Reyes National Seashore is bounded
by the Pacific Ocean and Drakes Bay to the West and
Tomales Bay and the Bolinas Ridge to the East.
Lining Drakes Bay from Point Reyes in the North to
Duxbury Point in the South are Drakes Beach, Limantour
Beach, Santa Maria Beach, Sculptured Beach, Kelham
Beach, Wildcat Beach, Palomarin Beach and Agate
Beach. The waters offshore are part of the 3,295
square mile Greater Farallones National Marine
Sanctuary. |
Wildcat Beach is a 6.3-mile hike from
Bear Valley Visitor Center and 2 miles from Glen
campground. A nice campground overlooks Wildcat
Beach, but it has a limited number of spaces. |
Walking up the beach, one reaches the base of Alamere Falls. A rope to the left of the falls allows people to climb to the top, but the crumbling rock can be hazardous (1, 2). A bit further up the beach is Double Point. |
