Very clean visitor center, with ample restrooms. The staff was really friendly and helpful for finding hikes. We saw a snake outside the visitor center, and hit the local trails nearby. Definitely could spend two or three days exploring this park, the beaches, local towns, and plenty of hikes. Surprised this place is not a national park!

Lovely visitor center and a great place to stop to/from Point Reyes. The sign could do with a repaint though :-) Center has various exhibits. There are great walks through the woods down to Santa Maria beach.

Questions & Answers

Is the picnic area dog friendly?

Johnny Liao | Jul 22, 2022
Dean McCauley | Jul 22, 2022

Dogs are not allowed on any trails near the visitor center. You could take your pet to Limantour Beach which is about 15 minutes away and where dogs are permitted to the left of the beach entry trail.

Can I pick up a Senior pass to the National Parks at the visitor's center?

Basha/Barbara Hirschfeld | Aug 22, 2019

You should be able to pick up that pass at any National Park. I believe the bear valley center does have these passes available but you could always call ahead to double check. You can reach them at 415-464-5100. There is also an online form you can fill out to get the pass mailed too you as well.

Denese Morrison | Aug 22, 2019
Ada Karwoski | Aug 22, 2019

The visitor center and the light house are closed during the shut down. All park bathrooms are closed as well. Park access, trails and beaches are open. The garbage cans are over flowing so you may want to bring resources to take out anything you bring in.
