Drakes Bay Beach

3 Drakes Beach Road. Point Reyes Station, CA, 94956 US / CA

Location Description

A perfect substitute for the White Cliffs of Dover! This is a wide stretch of beach backed by dramatic white sandstone cliffs. The sands of the Drakes Bay cliffs were deposited in a shallow sea 10–13 million years ago, compacted, then uplifted. Erosion has revealed the striations of this story in the cliff faces.
