Overview

Point Reyes National Seashore is a federally protected coastal park in Marin County, California, encompassing beaches, forests, and historic ranches. All visitor centers at the park are accessible, including the Kenneth C. Patrick Visitor Center. The Bear Valley Visitor Center features a gently ramped, multilevel interior with most displays well positioned for viewing from a seated position, accessible restrooms, and designated accessible parking in front. The Point Reyes Lighthouse Visitor Center, observation deck, and restrooms are fully accessible, though the lighthouse itself is not accessible. Accessible paths lead to numerous points of interest throughout the park.

Braille copies of the official park map and brochure are available at the Bear Valley Visitor Center in limited quantities, and a Braille Ready File version is available for download and home printing. The park holds an America the Beautiful Access Pass (free lifetime pass) for people with permanent disabilities, which covers entrance fees and provides discounts on some amenity fees at federal recreation lands.

Visitors report that the park’s coastline and some trails can be challenging due to wind and uneven terrain outside of designated accessible routes, and advise calling ahead to confirm current conditions on accessible paths before visiting.
