Top 6 Things to Do in Point Reyes Seashore

The Point Reyes National Seashore (only 33 miles from San Francisco) evokes a simpler, natural world; it is a world that has been lost to our hectic, modern way of life. Experience the seemingly endless trails and beaches of this amazing reserve. If you are lucky you may see herds of elk and perhaps, even the rare albino deer that live in the area. But it is not all about the nature; there are also lovely bed and breakfasts, fine cuisine, shops, and fine restaurants in the nearby towns of Inverness, Point Reyes Station, and Olema.

If you want to feel like you have stepped back in time, then the Olema Druids Hall Bed & Breakfast is for you. A stay in this hotel will immerse you in charm and history. Practically inside the Point Reyes National Seashore, you'll find hiking trails right outside you door.
This beach has a wild and remote feel. Visit in the spring to see the riot of color as the dunes burst into bloom. Walk the beautiful shoreline, then, as the sun begins to set on the Pacific Ocean, build a bon-fire on the beach (permits at Bear Valley Visitor Center).
Even if you are not a seasoned horse person, you can safely experience the sheer joy of horse and nature on a guided tour from Five Brooks Ranch.
This Italian style restaurant with a seafood emphasis is a must-try. The Oyster Pizza and Tomales Mussels are some favorites of the locals.

I am the Vice President of an international, non-profit conservation organization, Save the Turtles, Inc. My eight years as a hands-on VP has provided me with plenty of experience writing web content, proposals, ad copy, brochures, fliers, promotional material, letters of inquiry (the list could go on and on.) Writing for Save the Turtle's website has provided me with great exposure to the concepts and practices of SEO. It seems that we have done rather well as our Google ranking is most often number one on the page. Although, I am still on the board of Save the Turtles and every bit as passionate about saving endangered species as ever, I am currently also enjoying another incarnation as a freelance writer. I love, love, love writing travel blogs! Lately, I have been writing for Uptake.com. and Mynatour, an eco-travel site based in London. I have also written an number of articles for other sites covering such wide-ranging topics as health, food, real estate, and science. My goal, with each writing assignment, is to match each clients individual needs by writing with an appropriate "voice" and level of readability for each unique, target audience.
