Welcome to West Marin – Beach Commmunities
West Marin’s small, tranquil towns offer total escape only 35 miles north of San Francisco. Each with their own personality, the communities of Point Reyes Station, Olema, Stinson Beach, Bolinas, Tomales, Dillon Beach, and Inverness make up the West Marin area. Stinson Beach and Point Reyes Station have the largest downtown areas with shops, restaurants, and markets. These communities offer incredible access to Tomales Bay and the Pacific Ocean. West Marin is also a hiker and biker’s paradise as the largest rural region in Marin County. These communities are small but tightknit, aided by rich histories and local pride.
