Park Adventures

Item Description

Thanks to one of our newer donors, Unbeaten Path Tours, you and three guests or family members will enjoy a two-hour nature tour of the Point Arena Stornetta Lands Unit of the California Coastal National Monument System.

This private tour takes guests on a geological, historical and oceanographic awe-inspiring journey. Gain a new appreciation, respect and connection to place and learn about this beautiful section of our coastline from an unexpectedly different perspective!

Located two-and-a-half miles north along gorgeous California Route One on the Pacific Coast from Point Reyes National Seashore, Point Arena is the location of the Point Arena Lighthouse, the tallest lighthouse on the West coast of the United States and the closest location on the mainland (excluding Alaska) to the Hawaiian islands.

Point Arena also shares with Point Reyes, besides a destination historic lighthause, an earthquake fault - the San Andreas Fault which helps to define Point Reyes, runs out to sea at Point Arena - and are both adjacent to the important and rich Farallones Marine Sanctuary.

The philosophy at Unbeaten Path Tours is simple: Bring life to its most uncomplicated and natural form by doing what you love and supporting local business so that each and every community (no matter how small) thrives. This is the path chosen by Unbeaten Path Tours and they would like to share it with you.

Their Point Arena-Stornetta Lands Tour will reveal to you and your party a very special region made even more incredible by an offshore, deep oceanic upwelling whose nutrient rich waters creates a magnificent feeding and breeding ground for thousands of different species.

The preservation of these lands through its designation as a unit of the California Coastal National Monument system as well as the expansion of the Farallones Marine Sanctuary to this area has made this one of the most pristine and protected places in the world!
