Other things to do:
* Whale Watching & Wildlife Eco Tour from San Francisco
* San Francisco 1-Hour Seaplane Tour with Shuttle Transport
* A walk out to to the historic Point Reyes Lighthouse is a must. The lighthouse was built with a low profile (unlike most lighthouses) to project light below the ubiquitous Bay Area fog.
* Nearby, you’ll have an opportunity to hike the short trail to Chimney Rock. Bear Valley Trail is the most popular hike in the park. Tomales Point Trail offers views of the ocean. But if you’re not ambitious, Earthquake Trail (across the parking lot at the Visitor’s Center) is an easy 0.6 mile loop that runs directly over the San Andreas Fault, so you can straddle the fault line
