Explore the S.S. Point Reyes Shipwreck
Inverness, California
Description
Added by Gaby Colletta
Explore the shipwreck of a 380-foot cargo steamship that grazed the land of Inverness over 100 years ago
Explore the shipwreck of the S.S. Point Reyes, perched on a sand bar off the shoreline of Tomales Bay. It is located in the small town of Inverness, just behind the grocery store. If you are driving North on Sir Francis Drake Blvd it will be on your right side. Parking is easy and you will see a small picnic area just footsteps away from the abandoned boat.
This is a great little detour if you are exploring Point Reyes for the day. Plan for a 10 minute pull-over. Great spot for photo buffs - beautiful rusting colors, with the backdrop of low-tide wetlands. You can hop inside the boat, too, where you'll find some interesting graffiti.
Recommend shooting around sunset - the golden hour light makes reflections quite lovely.
Nearby attractions: A beautiful tunnel of Cyprus Trees 10 minutes away. The Pt Reyes Shoreline and Lighthouse.

There doesn't look like there is much to do here after getting a photo of the ship. Nice views though

Worth a stop. We were fortunate to stay right here, so walked over from our little cabin and explored. Not crowded and fun to check out. Stopped at the conveniently located grocery store too!

Looks interesting! I'd point out, however, that under "Nearby attractions: A beautiful tunnel of Cyprus Trees 10 minutes away," they're really Cypress Trees. They're native to Monterey, California, not the island in the Mediterranean.
