It’s winter and that means northern elephant seals and gray whales at Point Reyes National Seashore! That also means a lot of visitors and in order to reduce traffic congestion, shuttle buses will be in operation.
$7 shuttle bus tickets are available at the Kenneth C. Patrick Visitor Center at Drakes Beach from 9:30 am to ~3 pm. Shuttles buses will run on weekends and federal holiday Mondays from Saturday Dec 28 until late March or mid-April 2020.
Please note that Sir Francis Drake Blvd will be closed at the South Beach junction from 9 am until ~5:45 pm while the shuttle buses are in operation.
Here’s to a fun and enjoyable sealson of whale watching and seal seeing! Look for Winter Wildlife volunteer docents in red vests to learn more about these magnificent marine mammals!
