From San Francisco, go north on U.S. Highway 101 across the Golden Gate Bridge.
Follow U.S. 101 about 9 miles (14 km) north of the Golden Gate Bridge to the Sir Francis Drake-San Anselmo exit, exit 450B.
Make sure you are in the lane for San Anselmo (the second lane from the right) and exit onto Sir Francis Drake Boulevard heading west.
Follow Sir Francis Drake west approximately 21 miles (33 km)—passing through San Anselmo, Fairfax and Samuel P. Taylor State Park—until it intersects with Highway 1 at Olema.
Turn right on Highway 1 and proceed north about 100 yards (100 m).
Take the first left turn at Bear Valley Road and head west about 1/2 mile (0.8 km). Look for a big red barn on the left and a sign for "Visitor Center; Headquarters; Information" on the right.
Turn left after passing by the red barn and proceed up the left-fork of the driveway to the Bear Valley Visitor Center, the park's primary contact station.

Cafe Reyes, Wood Oven Pizza, Eclectic Bohemian West Marin Chic. Patio. (No Lattes. Oh just kidding, but the
day we visited we were in quest of a Latte and their machine was broken.) Owner Robert Harvell happened to be our waiter that day.
The oysters were the best we've had lately.

Bovine Bakery, Pt. Reyes Station (NO LATTE!) Great Baked Goods.
I am sorry, I don't know the name, but in barn like building accross from Cheda's Garage
and East of the Grocery Store, is a place with organic coffee, lattes and cappucinos. (Pfew! Latte in an anti-latte town.) I think it might just simply be called
Organic Coffees & Teas, as that is what the banner above the place says.
Cowgirl Creamery/Tomales Bay Foods

Year round. Seasonal spring/summer and fall/winter cheeses. Cowgirl Creamery & Tomales Bay Foods opened
in 1997 in a renovated hay barn in Point Reyes Station. The smell of the cheese might tempt you spend more

vegetables from Golden Point Produce.
