The weather is unpredictable on Point Reyes. Even it's a hot sunny day, the fog can roll in and the weather turn gray and misty. Bring a sweater, and warm clothing. You can buy sweatshirts at the Bear Valley Visitor Center or at shops in Point Reyes Station.

If you're taking longer hikes, bring water (the streams are lovely, but you can't drink the water.)

Have a picnic - Point Reyes has many lovely places to picnic. Chose to spread your lunch out on picnic tables, or just find a cozy spot on the beach (pick up all your trash). In Point Reyes Station or Inverness, there are several places to get everything you need.

Tule elk – The Tomales Point Trail goes through the Tule Elk Reserve. The elk are most visible in September and October, when the elks are mating. Do not leave the trail, and do not get too close to the elk to take photos.

Dangerous surf - At North and South Beach, Abbotts Lagoon Beach, Kehoe Beach and McClures Beach, do not go in the water.
