Drakes Beach located in the Point Reyes National Seashore is a very popular place, especially among families. The waves of Drakes Bay are usually much smaller than those on the west-facing beaches of Point Reyes, so it’s relatively safer for people to play along the water’s edge. Easy access to the beach, a bookstore, and a visitor center add to its appeal. Picnic tables are located near the visitor center and along the northern edge of the parking lot.
