Route:
Highway 1 S, Valley Ford, Tomales, Marshall, Pt. Reyes Station, Olema, Sir Francis Drake Blvd., Samuel Taylor State Park
Left Bodega Bay Dunes State Park at 8:00 am and stopped at the Coffee Cove just outside the town. After 10 miles of riding, purchased groceries and a small lunch at the Valley Ford market. Three large bays cut into the coastline between Bodega Bay and San Francisco.
The Point Reyes National Seashore, a 64,000 acre park with more than 70 miles of coastline is on the route for those who have more time for excursions. One could explore this area for days to weeks. Trails are the only way to explore many of the park’s features. The Tomales Bay State Park and the Pt. Reyes Youth Hostel are located in the area.
From the strong manure and fertilizer smells, I can tell I am in cattle grazing and farming country on the way to Tomales. Past Miller’s Cove, and in Marshall I stopped at the Hog Island Oyster Farm to sample their grilled oysters with their spicy compound butter sauce and a Lagunitas beer. The area around Marshall is an oyster lover’s paradise with many eateries offering their version of grilled oysters … very tempting to stop at each one. The Tomales Bay drive was very scenic with an ambiance that I liked. There were no shoulders on the road but the traffic is very light. The Tomales Bay area is very foggy.
At the quaint town of Pt. Reyes Station, I stopped at the Tomales Bay Foods, a gourmet store and eatery. Not only do they
have an amazing deli, but they also have a shop for local wines and Cowgirl Creamery cheese. I purchased a locally made charcuterie plate to take out for dinner later at camp. The place is a bit pricey but good quality foods.
Samuel Taylor State Park was one of the first areas in the United States where camping was actively promoted by the state for recreation. After setting up the ten, the charcuterie plate with cheese, pickles, olives, bread, and spicy smoked sausage was very good.
