If you can, drive up through Point Reyes and hike out Tomales Point. Make a day trip out of it, about 9 miles round trip, in and out trail so can do as much or as little as you want. Totally worth it. This is one of our favorite hikes. If we can't think of another, we will happily take the drive out and do this one if we have a free day!
