Theme: Kayaking in Tomales Bay, California
Author: DayTripper
I visited San Francisco several years ago and it still ranks high on my list of favorite trips. Now that I’m into kayaking with my Sea Eagle inflatable kayak, I did some research to see if there are any nice paddling locations nearby. About an hour North of the city is Tomales Bay and the Point Reyes Peninsula and National Seashore. Point Reyes is historically significant in that it was discovered in 1603. Some consider the area to be one of the premier paddling destinations in California. It’s also one of the state’s largest protected bay and coastal areas.
Early spring is one of the best times to paddle on Tomales Bay because you’ll see lots of migratory birds and marine life. The surrounding hills are green from recent rains and wildflowers are beginning to bloom. The area also features the White Cliffs of Tomales Bay, a unique geological formation similar to the White Cliffs of Dover. There’s a State Park where you can launch as well as paid guided kayak tours available. Sounds like a good reason to plan another trip to the ‘city by the bay’.
