Tomales Bay Resort is an excellent location from which to explore Pt Reyes and West Marin. It’s a cool, funky, but well maintained facility right on Tomales Bay.

First, it is NOT a resort. Not in winter time. Amd to say we had access to the kayaks at 3pm check in time when sun sets at 530pm and its 54 degrees in mornings when youbhave to check out at 11am. We were maybe 3rd guest for the night. And they charged me $412 tax for the one night. What a load of crap. Not worth it. Room wasnt special. Bed creaked and lifted when i ssat on end of bed. Never go here unless you go summer. MAYBE it will be ok. Building needs to be cleaned of cobwebs and weather like damage on outside of rooms. Wished I had checked it out befre deciding to book. Obviously would not have. But towels were great. Does have small microwave and a fireplace that works.
