Relax at Drakes Beach, Point Reyes National Seashore, California

Sunbathing & swimming with a backdrop of limestone cliffs, plus a visitor center & cafe. Drakes Beach is one of four beaches at Point Reyes National Seashore to which one can drive. A seasonally wide stretch of beach backed by dramatic white sandstone cliffs makes Drakes Beach a very popular place. A bookstore and a visitor center add to its appeal. The sands of the Drakes Bay cliffs were deposited in a shallow sea 10–13 million years ago, compacted, then uplifted. Erosion has revealed the striations of this story in the cliff faces.
