Tomales Point is the northern tip of the Point Reyes Peninsula, a sliver of land with Tomales Bay to the east and the blue waters of the Pacific Ocean to the west. A large area of Tomales Point has been set aside as the Tule Elk Preserve, and the herd now numbers between 400-500 animals. The coastal scrub ecosystem is beautiful to stroll through, and especially when the yellow bush lupine and other wildflowers are blooming in the spring.
