Yep, we love Point Reyes which is an hour north of San Francisco: good food, good hikes, good life. It seems like we spend more time in Point Reyes than in the city of San Francisco.
Here are 3 things to do in Point Reyes:
1. Eat thin-crust pizza and ginormously fresh oysters at the very popular Cafe Reyes.
2. Hike or bike the 9-mile round trip trail to Arch Rock and stunning views of the Pacific Ocean.
It’s like being on the edge of the world.
3. Have faux gras (so good it should be illegal), wine, and other yumminess at the renowned Sir and Star.

I’ve only been to Point Reyes once, and it was with my mom. It was a stunningly beautiful day but we had too much on our plate and I don’t think we were ready to embrace all that is magical about it.
That said, I want to get back so badly. I lived in SF for two years and didn’t make it back. Someday. The photos are beautiful.
Catherine
yes tamara, you have to return to SF and take the family here. thank you for commenting. i am following you now on bloglovin! hope you’re enjoying the weekend already! i’m just waiting to get out of work 🙂
Rachel

Those pictures are gorgeous! We haven’t been to Point Reyes for years – now it is on the list! Faux gras. Awesome! Seriously, what is it made of?
Catherine
they actually don’t say what faux gras is made out of, but maybe a combination of duck fat, butter, and cream? i would request this if i had only one last meal.
Mo at Mocadeaux
My son-in-law is a super foodie and is trying to perfect duck fat popcorn. I’ll let you know how it turns out.
Britton
That food looks soooo good and the views of the water from the cliff (or is it a mountain), look beautiful!
Catherine
haha, that’s a cliff. i don’t think my hubby can make it up a mountain, poor thing.
