Tomales Bay is a coastal estuary located on the central California coast approximately 40 miles northwest of San Francisco. The partnership of agencies, Point Reyes National Seashore, California Department of Parks and Recreation, and the Marin County Parks and Open Space District, who protect and preserve this ecosystem invite you to plan a safe and enjoyable trip through this website.

"...Tomales Bay is a vital ecosystem with clean water and diverse wildlife. Residents and visitors cherish its open waters, shoreline, scenic beauty and serenity. People enjoy diverse activities in a landscape that expresses rural and wilderness qualities, and supports limited and sustainable levels of use and development."
