Set on a decades old landfill, explore meandering paths through art created out of repurposed junk. Beautiful views of the bay and of the Berkeley hills. A great spot to park to further explore the Bay Trail too.

A family favorite. Park along Pierce Point Rd and walk down the trail to the wide open beach (that's usually empty). The water is cold and rough, so don't expect to get in. Go in late winter to spring for a beautiful wildflower show. Stop in Point Reyes Station or Inverness to pickup lunch on your drive in.
