Once home to the Coast Miwok, indigenous people known so as they used to camp solely on coasts and bays, Point Reyes Station is now an unincorporated town with a population of only 350 people. Bordering Tomales Bay, this small town not only offers scenic views of the narrow inlet but it is also the perfect destination to escape the hustle and bustle of urban life. This quiet town is also a home to Tomales Bay ecological reserve.
