Dear neighbors,
In light of the extraordinary circumstances, you may be wondering if it’s safe to hike Point Reyes, if the park is open, if lodging is open and if you will be able to get food. You’ll also want to know what our local businesses are doing to keep you, and all of us, safe. We’re publishing what we know on this page, and updating it as soon as new information comes in.
Masks are mandatory
We want to protect service staff at local businesses, our community members and visitors. Our local shops and restaurants are working hard to provide a safe environment. Please help us by maintaining social distance and hand hygiene when interacting with them. One way to help is to wear a mask and sanitize your hands before entering store buildings or picking up restaurant takeout.
The county has mandated that wearing a mask is mandatory before entering buildings like restaurants, grocery and shops. It’s also mandatory in indoor common areas of lodging businesses.
Is the park open?
Point Reyes National Seashore is open, with some limitations. Please check the map link below to see which parks are open and under what conditions.
