Best places: Beaches in Marin County, United States

Pebbly beach popular for surfing & sunbathing, with restrooms, trails, a lagoon & picnic tables.

👍👍 Tennessee valley trail is a cool hike to enjoy nature and dip your toes in the ocean all at the same time. This trail is about 1.75 miles one way to the beach but is absolutely worth it. Beach lovers would love the views and variety of beach sections and the rocks around. Small stones, smaller stone...

Sunbathing & swimming with a backdrop of limestone cliffs, plus a visitor center & cafe.

👍👍 Great idea just for one time short trip. Although, this place is special because you can see the seals really close while they are resting on the beach. And if you hike a bit up, really close from the parking (couple of meters) you will be able to observe beautiful view of the ocean and the cliffs....

👍👍 Free parking, wasn't busy on a Wednesday evening. Saw people swimming here, water was too cold for me in May but it was really nice to nap and take a walk along the beach with my feet occasionally in the water. There're bathrooms and place to wash off the ocean water. This is a really pretty place f...

👍👍 Dog friendly to the point that I call it, "Dog Beach." My favorite place to go walk the beach in search of beach glass. Don't expect to lay out here. Watch it if you bring food. Parking on street is for one hour with limited spaces. No bathroom.

👍👍 Such a great beach for dogs. Parking can get tricky but totally worth the wait.

Swimming, horseback riding & picnicking draw visitors to this large beach backed by dunes & cliffs.

Secluded public beach with a wide expanse of sand, rocky cliffs, tidal pools & scenic views.

👍👍 Gorgeous beach with amazing wildlife and some traditionally clothing-optional areas to the east. The HUGE starfish and anemones are so cool. Kids absolutely love them. The beach is always super clean and pristine. The water is cold but beautiful and refreshing.

👍👍 I ended up at this beach because the road to the light house was closed. No regrets.. it's so beautiful and not over crowded. My dog loved the beach but was scared of the roaring waves, but who can blame him they were loud and amazing. The beach was easy to access it is a bit tough getting back up....

👍👍 One of my favorite places to go in the bay area not too far and a good area if you come on the weekdays. Weekends do get crowded when it is warmer out. Long Beach front is nice just because it brings larger crowds and give more room for people to distance each other. The waters can be cold but if it...

👍👍 We went when it was a bit cooler out and there was no crowd. Really fun little beach to hang out, relax, and explore a little. There’s a trail as well but we did not check that out. Parking was convenient and easy to find, but I can’t say I know what it’d be like on a warm summer day. Worth a visit.

👍👍 Nice small Beach in the Pierce Ranch area of Point Reyes National Seashore. Short hike down a canyon from parking lot with a bathroom.

👍👍 Its almost like a heavenly feeling to be here,the sea green waters and the pristine beach with the almost fine pebbles is just alluring. Its in the scenic 17mile drive along the Big Sur. Best area to view the Pacifica.

Sandy beach known for ideal surfing conditions & a popular site for dog walking.

👍👍 Pretty cool beach, a random dog showed up and followed us around. I don't know who's dog this is, neither did the local we asked. We were just told that he is just the local dog. All I know is that he is named Jim. Go to this beach.
