This review is a bit more of a PSA than anything else. The reviews for Tomales Bay are not really reviews of campgrounds. Be sure you book a real campground since you get tickets and citations if you camp illegally in Marin. All the camp grounds are elsewhere, like Samuel Taylor Park, Skycap, Steep Ravine, Coast Camp, etc.

That being said, there is incredible sights to be seen. Miwok village is lovely for kids, shell beach, hearts desire, and the other small beaches INSIDE tamales bay off the coast offer smaller, simple, quiet beaches without the crowds or large surf. Ideal for young ones.

Point Reyes station has incredible window shopping, one of the FEW black and white landscape photographer studios to ever be given a Guggenheim Fellowship. Bovine bakery is the best around! Lots of good food!

Just up the road is Hog Island Oysters and many small bay side attractions for food and lodging.
