About this city
Also known as: Gateway to the Seashore
Point Reyes Station is a small, historically rich unincorporated town located in western Marin County, situated just off the San Andreas Fault line. Serving as a crucial gateway community to the massive Point Reyes National Seashore, the town historically developed in the 1870s as a vital stop along the North Pacific Coast Railroad. Today, it preserves a rustic charm characterized by historic western storefronts, organic agriculture, and artisanal food production.
